Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has condemned the federal government’s shift in focus of the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, describing scrutiny of her wife as “monstrous.”
Speaking on CNN’s The Lead on Tuesday, Frey said, “To be clear, the people that are now calling for an investigation of the wife of Rene, that’s monstrous. That is gross.”
The Justice Department has stated there is no evidence to support a criminal investigation into the actions of the ICE agents involved in the shooting, prompting the resignation of at least six federal prosecutors in Minneapolis, according to The New York Times.
Frey emphasized that the investigation should target the ICE officer who shot Good and gather evidence fairly, adding, “But to suddenly divert an investigation and to divert attention over to the wife of the victim, I mean, come on. This is un-American.”
