Duran Duran Dedicates 'Ordinary World' to Renee Good After Minneapolis ICE Shooting

The gesture drew focus to a disputed self-defense claim from federal officials.

Overview

  • At a Jan. 9 show near Sacramento, the band paused its set at Thunder Valley Casino Resort to dedicate the 1993 song to Good.
  • Renee Good, 37, was fatally shot Jan. 7 during an ICE operation in Minneapolis, with DHS and President Donald Trump saying the officer acted in self-defense.
  • Officials allege Good tried to drive toward agents, while video from the scene appears to show her attempting to drive away moments before the shot.
  • Protests have followed in Minneapolis and other U.S. cities, including coordinated actions across the Bay Area.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey urged federal immigration agents to leave the city, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz criticized the scope of the enforcement push.
