"An arsonist set fire to a public memorial for Renee Good, the queer mother of three killed by an ICE agent last month, by dousing a nearby woodpile with gasoline around 9 p.m. Tuesday night. Lesbian Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) pledged an investigation, and the Minneapolis Police Department has begun conducting one, though no suspect has been identified or arrested yet."
"Neighbors in a nearby apartment building used two fire extinguishers to put out the fire before police and firefighters arrived, according to The Minnesota Star Tribune. No one was injured. "We've been hypervigilant in our neighborhood, and obviously everyone's keeping an eye out all of the time," said Wren Clinefelter, who lives near the memorial. "So it's definitely very disheartening to hear that someone would try and burn down a memorial for a woman who was killed in our neighborhood.""
