The family of Renee Good says they are still searching for answers—but they’re also determined that the world remembers the woman behind the headlines. Renee, a 37-year-old mother of three, died earlier this year after an encounter with federal law enforcement in Minneapolis, shortly after she dropped her youngest child off at school. In the weeks that followed, grief quickly turned into a mission for clarity. Her loved ones hired a legal team experienced in major civil rights cases and launched their own private investigation alongside official inquiries, saying they want transparency, accountability, and a full understanding of what happened in Renee’s final moments.
According to statements from the family’s attorneys, preliminary results from an independent autopsy have now been released. The private medical examination reportedly confirmed multiple firearm-related injuries and established a clear cause of death. Authorities had previously stated that Renee was found unresponsive in her vehicle shortly after the incident, and the family’s legal team says the independent report helps create an additional record outside of government agencies. They also emphasized that the broader evidence review is still ongoing and that more information may surface as investigations continue.
While public discussion has intensified, Renee’s loved ones have repeatedly asked people to focus not only on how she died—but on how she lived. Those closest to her describe Renee as a devoted wife, a deeply loving mother, and a person who carried kindness into the everyday moments that often go unnoticed. Her wife, Becca, has spoken about the overwhelming support the family has received, sharing gratitude for the generosity and compassion shown by strangers. Friends and relatives have also shared stories of Renee’s faith, warmth, and her consistent habit of putting others first.
Across the community, Renee’s death has prompted vigils, fundraisers, and renewed calls for careful review of law enforcement procedures. Officials have acknowledged the seriousness of the case, and multiple agencies remain involved as evidence continues to be examined. Through it all, the family continues to grieve while pushing for answers—insisting that Renee’s name should represent more than a tragic moment. Their message remains steady: this is a story about love, dignity, and a life that mattered, and they hope that as the legal process unfolds, that truth stays at the center of the conversation.
