RICHMOND, Va. — Around 300 demonstrators gathered on Broad Street in Richmond on Saturday to protest the deadly shooting of U.S. citizen Renee Good by a federal ICE agent in Minneapolis. The protest was one of hundreds planned for towns and cities across the country over the weekend.
The protesters braved heavy rain as they assembled underneath the Maggie Walker statue, expressing frustration over Wednesday’s encounter that resulted in Good being shot three times by the federal agent. Multiple cellphone videos of the incident have sparked nationwide scrutiny of the agent’s actions.
“This is what that actually looks like, coming together for something good instead of violence and domination and terror,” Te’Shaun Cleckley, one of the demonstrators, said.
