The Minnesota Timberwolves held a powerful tribute before their game Thursday night for Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

However, during the moment of silence, some fans shouted “F*** ICE”, drawing cheers from the crowd. The outbursts reflected deep frustration over the incident and broader federal immigration enforcement actions in the region.

Players, coaches and fans stood in silence at the Target Center in her honor. The shooting occurred just a few miles from the arena and has stirred strong reactions across Minneapolis and beyond.

Good’s death has sparked ongoing debate about law enforcement use of force. Federal officials have defended the ICE agent’s actions, saying she tried to hit an officer with her vehicle. But eyewitness accounts and video analysis challenge that narrative, and protests continue in the area calling for accountability and transparency.

The Timberwolves went on to play their scheduled game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the moment before the game underscored the sorrow in Minneapolis following the tragedy.
