"Born in Colorado, Renee Good described herself in the bio of her Instagram profile as a 'poet and writer and wife and mom' who was currently 'experiencing Minneapolis.'

Her mother, Donna Ganger, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that the family was notified of the death late Wednesday morning. Ganger told the newspaper that her daughter wasn't part of a protest and said her daughter 'was probably terrified.'

'Renee was one of the kindest people I've ever known,' Ganger told the Tribune. 'She was extremely compassionate. She's taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.'

Good was widowed when her husband Timmy Ray Macklin Jr. died in 2023 at age 36, the Tribune reported. He was her second husband and the father of her young son, according to the AP, which reported that Good had two older children, a 12-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter, with her first husband.

Good earned a degree in English from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, according to the school. She graduated in December 2020. Earlier that year, Good received a poetry prize from the university, its English department announced in a Facebook post at the time. The post said Good studied creative writing and hosted a podcast.

'It is with great sadness that Old Dominion University mourns the loss of one of our own, Renee (Macklin) Good,' said Brian Hemphill, the university's president, in a statement. Hemphill described her death as a 'tragic killing' and 'yet another clear example that fear and violence have sadly become commonplace in our nation.'

Her ex-husband told the AP that Good had worked as a dental assistant and at a credit union before becoming a stay-at-home mother in recent years. 

AP also reports it appears she was never charged with anything involving law enforcement beyond a traffic ticket."
