San Diego, California, January 8, 2026—Yesterday in Minneapolis, Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot to death in her car by a federal ICE agent shortly after dropping her 6-year-old off at school. This was yet another perpetration of gun violence over prudence and a completely unwarranted use of deadly force.
This is among the latest in a never-ending torrent of profoundly senseless gun violence tragedies in this country. Sadly, we live in a culture that has normalized, even glamorized, gun violence.
San Diegans for Gun Violence Prevention, whose mission is simply “End Gun Violence,” categorically condemns the action that took the life of Renee Good yesterday, and gun violence in all forms. Yesterday’s shooting, and indeed, all shooting deaths and injuries, are completely avoidable. It is up to us. We—the government, law enforcement, and the public—must collectively and decisively take all measures possible to prevent gun violence and ensure responsibility and accountability for maintaining the safety of our communities.
We urge our communities to peacefully and loudly speak up and make it clear to our local, state, and federal government that what happened yesterday, and continues to happen every day all over this country, is unacceptable.
