Fishers vigil honors woman shot by ICE in Minneapolis
Fishers vigil attendees gather to remember Renee Nicole Good
Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, 2026.
Hundreds of people gathered for a candlelight vigil in Roy G Holland Memorial Park in Fishers to honor a woman killed by a federal immigration officer.
The crowd, bundled in coats, scarves and hats, chanted between singing songs and listening to speakers.
The vigil, hosted Jan. 11 by the local group Fishers Resist, is one of more than 1,000 protests and events that happened nationwide this weekend after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, 37, in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.
Good joins at least nine other people who have been shot by ICE in the past four months. Federal officials have said Good struck ICE officer Jonathan Ross with her vehicle, prompting Ross to fire in self-defense. Local officials have called that narrative “propaganda,” and video analyses conducted by media outlets have failed to reach a consensus on what happened.
Ross, 43, once served in the Indiana National Guard from 2002 to 2008.
Organizers at the vigil estimated the crowd was at least 150 — that’s how many glow sticks were handed out — and potentially as many as 500.
One attendee, Lorena Lane from Carmel, donned a black dress with a red, white and blue “liberty” sash. Her hat, black and feathered, was adorned with an Indiana cardinal.”I’m here to personify the concept of liberty,” Lane said through tears, “which is at risk right now in our country.”
Many attendees shared a sense that American principles were at risk, something they felt was demonstrated by Good’s death. Paintings, photos and signs with her name were sprinkled throughout the crowd.
“We have to take a stance against the harm that’s coming into our cities from ICE,” Melinda Humbert, who attended the vigil with her husband and daughter, said.
The Fishers event followed a brief anti-ICE protest along East 86th Street in Indianapolis that took place the day before. It’s part of a growing backlash against President Donald Trump’s promise to conduct the largest mass deportation campaign in the country’s history, where Indiana has been a key player.
Since Trump took office and Gov. Mike Braun issued an executive order urging law enforcement agencies comply with ICE, the state’s partnership with ICE has grown. Indiana has expanded its capacity for detainees, including at the controversy-plagued Miami Correctional Facility. Indianapolis, along with cities in Texas and Florida, is now a major hub for ICE arrests at jails and prisons.
