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.
