The family of Renee Good, the woman shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, has hired a law firm previously retained by the family of George Floyd.
Romanucci & Blandin, a Chicago-based law firm, said in a news release Wednesday, Jan. 14, that it and an attorney in Minneapolis, were representing Good’s partner, parents and siblings. The attorneys said they were launching what they described as a civil investigation into the shooting that left the mother of three dead.
The attorneys offered the family’s fullest account to date of what happened on Jan. 7, when Good was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross while she was behind the wheel of her Honda Pilot. The firm said Good and her partner, Becca Good, saw federal agents in their neighborhood after dropping their 6-year-old child at school and stopped to “observe, with the intention of supporting and helping their neighbors.”
Founding partner Antonio Romanucci said in a statement that people “want to know what could and should have been done to let Renee live and pick her child up safely from school that afternoon.”
The shooting has been the subject of intense national scrutiny after federal officials claimed Good had tried to weaponize her vehicle, an account that has been strongly disputed by local officials as well as Good’s family.
“The community is not receiving transparency about this case elsewhere, so our team will provide that to the country,” the law firm said in the release. The firm pledged to provide updates to the public about what it learned as it gathers information.
Romanucci & Blandin represented Floyd’s family after he was killed by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020, a case that sparked nationwide protests. In 2021, the firm helped secure a $27 million settlement for Floyd’s family after filing a lawsuit against the City of Minneapolis and the four police officers accused in his death.
The officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck, Derek Chauvin, was later found guilty of murder and was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison.
