Renee Good’s former father-in-law, Timmy Macklin, suggested on Tuesday that she made poor decisions leading up to her fatal shooting.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross shot Good on Jan. 7 after she abruptly accelerated her vehicle during a confrontation. Although Macklin said on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” that he was “not blaming anybody” for the incident, he indicated that her lack of adherence to God played a role.

“Renee was an amazing person. Full of life, full of joy. Real gentle, a good mother. I just think we make bad choices. And that’s the problem. There’s so much chaos in the whole world today,” Macklin said. “And that’s why the Bible says, ‘If my people would humble ourselves and seek his face and pray and turn from their wicked ways, God will hear from heaven and forgive our sins and heal our lands.’ And that’s what we need to do. We need to turn to God and walk in the spirit of God. And let him lead us and guide us.”

“I think there’s some bad choices. And the word says, ‘For the wrath of God will come upon the children of disobedience.’ And I don’t blame ICE,” he added. “I don’t blame Rebecca . I don’t blame Renee. I just wish that, you know, if we’re walking in the spirit of God, I don’t think she would have been there. That’s the way I look at it.”

Ross was trying to film Renee Good’s license plate number as her car impeded the roadway.

“You want to come at us? You want to come at us?” Rebecca Good, Renee Good’s wife, was heard asking the agent in Minnesota-based Alpha News’ videofootage of the shooting from his perspective. “I say go get yourself a big lunch, big boy. Go ahead.”

She seemed to attempt to enter the passenger side of the car Renee Good was driving and appeared to yell, “Drive, baby, drive” immediately before she allegedly accelerated toward Ross.

While Democrats have alleged the shooting was murder, President Donald Trump’s administration has maintained that it was an act of self-defense.
