Since the identification of Renee Nicole Good as the victim of the fatal shooting involving ICE agent Jonathan Ross on January 7, a number of false claims about her have flooded the internet.

From forged arrest records to child abuse allegations and assaulting law enforcement officers, many claims, now debunked, have gone viral. The latest of the false claims about Good to break out on the internet is about her pregnancy.

Good, 37-year-old mother of three, was shot and killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross at a protest in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The DHS says that she used her car as a weapon and tried to run over the ICE agents, which led to Ross shooting her fatally. But the Minnesota state administration is calling for an investigation into the actions of Agent Ross.

Meanwhile, claims are doing round on social media that Renee Nicole Good was pregnant at the time when she was shot by Jonathan. Posts on social media are raising questions about her family, and her widow, Rebecca Good, about whether they indeed have a six-year-old.

The basis of the claim is the photo of Renee Good that has been widely circulated after her death. The photo, originally rendered as just her bust, has now been re-created to project her pregnancy to add fuel to these claims.

However, there are no reports or evidence to suggest that Renee Nicole Good was pregnant at the time of her death at the hands of ICE agent Jonathan Ross.

Prosecutors Resign Protesting Direction Of Probe

As the investigation into the death of Renee Nicole Good proceeds with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) taking charge, having blocked out the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), a major drama erupted at a Minnesota courtroom on Tuesday. Taking objection to the FBI wish to question Renee Nicole Good’s widow, Rebecca Good, six prosecutors in the case resigned.

Minnesota Public Radio News reported that Joseph H Thompson, a top Minnesota fraud prosecutor, was among the six who resigned. Harry Jacobs, Thomas Calhoun-Lopez and Melinda Williams were the other names in the list.

“She Was Really Looking Forward to This…”: The Heartbreaking Story of Renee Nicole Good’s Final Doctor’s Appointment and the Words That Left Millions in Tears

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old poet, mother, and compassionate community member from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has continued to reverberate across the United States and beyond following her fatal shooting by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on January 7, 2026. What has deepened the nation’s collective grief is the revelation from her wife that Renee had recently learned she was pregnant with their second child — approximately four weeks along — and had been eagerly anticipating her next doctor’s appointment.

According to family statements shared quietly in the days after the incident and amplified through vigils and social media, Renee had scheduled the ultrasound and check-up with excitement. Friends and relatives described her as glowing with hope, often saying, “She was really looking forward to this…” — referring to the moment she would see the heartbeat and share the news more widely with loved ones. The appointment was meant to be a joyful milestone in what she and her wife envisioned as an expanding family life, especially after the recent move into a new home with their young son.

Here are tender, evocative images that capture the bittersweet essence of pregnancy milestones — the kind of moments Renee was eagerly awaiting:

The revelation of the pregnancy came as a devastating blow to those closest to her. Her wife, in a private family update that later spread through community networks, shared that Renee had confided the news with quiet happiness just days before the encounter. The loss was not only of Renee but of the unborn child and the future they had begun to plan together. One relative recounted how the family sat in stunned silence when the words were spoken, the weight of “what might have been” hanging heavily in the air.

Here are somber visuals from vigils held in Renee’s memory, where communities gathered to mourn the multilayered tragedy:

Renee’s last documented words, captured on bystander video during the incident, were equally haunting: “I’m not mad at you.” Spoken calmly to the ICE agent involved, these simple words — uttered amid chaos — have touched millions, reframing the narrative from one of confrontation to one of profound humanity. Her mother, Donna Ganger, described Renee as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” emphasizing her compassion even in her final moments.

The incident occurred just blocks from her home during an immigration enforcement operation. Eyewitnesses and viral footage showed Renee attempting to move her car as instructed, leading to the fatal shooting. Protests and vigils followed nationwide, with calls for accountability and reform. A doctor in the crowd reportedly offered aid but was not permitted to approach, adding another layer of helplessness and outrage.

Here are additional images illustrating the community’s response and the emotional weight of the loss:

Renee leaves behind her wife, a 6-year-old son who has now lost a parent, and an extended family shattered by the double tragedy of her death and the unborn child’s. Her poetry — recognized with awards including the Academy of American Poets Prize in 2020 — and her advocacy for kindness continue to inspire, even as the pain remains raw.

The phrase “She was really looking forward to this…” has become a refrain in tributes, encapsulating not just a missed doctor’s visit but a stolen future filled with love and possibility. As vigils continue and investigations proceed, Renee’s story reminds us of the fragility of life and the enduring impact of one person’s compassion — even in its final, tearful echo.

Rest in peace, Renee Nicole Good, and the child who never got to meet the world.
