Friends of Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, have described her as a Christian woman with a beautiful spirit.

Becca Hainsworth, who was friends with Renee since they were teenagers, told the BBC that Renee was “extremely caring” and “a soft and beautiful spirit." 

Hainsworth, who now resides in Belfast, is reportedly one of several individuals who volunteered with Good during Christian missions in Northern Ireland more than 20 years ago.

"When I was getting homesick, she'd sing to me," Hainsworth said. "She had a voice of an angel. She'd bring me cups of tea." 

Rev. James Hyndman, who served as the minister at First Saintfield during Good's internship in Ireland, said Good was a "lovely girl." 

"Renee Ganger, as she was then, was gentle-natured and warm. A loving type of person," he said.

Good's mother, Donna Ganger, told The Minnesota Star Tribune that her daughter was one of "the kindest people I've ever known." 

"She was extremely compassionate. She's taken care of people all her life," she said. "She was loving, forgiving, and affectionate. She was an amazing human being." 

The 37-year-old mother of three, died after an ICE agent shot her while she was in her car during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis.

The Department of Homeland Security released a statement shortly after the incident, saying the agent was acting in self-defense. Local officials, however, said Good posed no danger to the agent.

Her death has sparked widespread demonstrations and protests nationwide, with many Americans demanding that ICE agents leave their cities.
