Carbondale holds vigil for woman slain by ICE

37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis on Wednesday, January 7. Good, who was originally from Colorado, was shot in her car in front of her wife during a traffic stop. A peaceful vigil took place in Carbondale on January 8 to honor Renee Nicole Good & all victims of ICE. Around 60 people came to Chacos Park at the corner of 4th & Main just after dark. They brought candles, flashlights, or phone lights that were placed in a circle in the park. The mood was somber and muted, and perhaps tinged with a new flush of anger. KDNK’s Chris Hassig was there, and brings us this audio postcard.

Chris listened to KDNK growing up in Carbondale throughout the nineties and aughts and began DJing in 2016. He hosts "Jazz After Art" every other Tuesday night at 9pm and co-hosts "The Deep..." with MD Cody Lee on Fridays at noon. After many years of volunteering with events and on the KDNK Board of Directors, Chris joined the staff as Membership Coordinator in 2024. When not at KDNK, Chris is a visual artist, seasonal bread maker at Bonnie's on Aspen Mountain, and a member of the Town of Carbondale Board of Trustees.
