Vigil planned for Renee Nicole Good at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery

There's a small memorial for Renee Nicole Good on the 10th Street outside St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery at Second Avenue. 

Good, a 37-year-old mother of three originally from Colorado, was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday. 

Church officials are inviting neighbors to leave a prayer or flower in her memory — and in memory of others currently in ICE detention — on the 10th Street fence. 

"A vigil for lament and hope" will take place on Monday at 7 p.m. at St. Mark's Church. The event is being sponsored by Middle Church, Trinity Lower East Side and Judson Memorial Church.
Trump administration officials described Good as a domestic terrorist who attempted to ram federal agents with her car. Local and state officials disputed federal authorities' narrative of events, calling the shooting unjustified. Her ex-husband said she was a devoted Christian and that he had never known her to participate in any protest.
