Rene Good's family hires law firm that represented George Floyd's family

This lawsuit will be fun to watch

https://virginiatimesnow.com/renee-good-family-hires-george-floyd-law-firm/

The family of Renee Nicole Macklin Good has retained attorneys to conduct a civil investigation into her fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer during a federal operation in Minneapolis, the legal firm Romanucci & Blandin said Wednesday.

Romanucci & Blandin and attorney Antonio Romanucci—a legal firm and lawyer known for representing George Floyd’s family in the civil case that ended in a landmark settlement—signaling.

In a statement from Romanucci & Blandin, the family called for calm in Minneapolis and urged the public not to turn Good’s death into a political fight. The lawyers said that the family wants Good to be remembered with a simple message: “Be Good.” They also stated that they will disclose information from their investigation as it is developed , describing transparency as essential.

Attorney Antonio M. Romanucci, the firm’s founding partner, said the team represents Good’s partner, Becca Good, along with her parents, Tim and Donna Ganger, and her siblings. The attorneys said Minneapolis lawyer Kevin Riach is serving as co-counsel.

The legal team’s account describes what it said occurred on Jan. 7, 2026, along Portland Avenue between East 33rd and 34th streets. The attorneys said Good, 37, and her partner were driving home after dropping off their 6-year-old child at school when they saw federal agents in their neighborhood and stopped to observe. The attorneys said videos show Good gesturing for other vehicles to pass, as agents moved toward her car.

internal bleeding when hitting his car. Those records will include his PTSD claims, as well. Government records will show how much research was conducted per his application.

If her lawyers blow thru the money donated to her GoFundMe I am sure that people will be willing to donate more!
