Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is proclaiming Friday to be a “Day of Unity” and is inviting all Americans to participate in acts of service to remember and honor Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old fatally shoot in Minneapolis by a federal agent.
“Renee Nicole Good was a loving mother, partner, daughter, and neighbor whose life was defined by compassion, creativity, and care for others,” Walz said in a statement. “While we cannot bring back Renee Nicole Good, we can honor her life by standing together for decency, democracy, compassion, and our shared values. I invite all Minnesotans and Americans to join me in a day of unity, and honoring her with a moment of silence and participating in acts of service.”

The governor is encouraging all “individuals, businesses, faith institutions, and organizations” to take a moment of silence at 10 a.m., and “use the day to connect in your community and engage in acts of service.”
Good was killed Wednesday in Minneapolis. Walz has urged protesters to remain peaceful in the wake of the shooting.
Minnesota leaders — from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to the governor — have condemned the shooting while President Donald Trump and key members of his administration say the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer acted legally to protect himself.
