When did renee good move to minnesota
Executive summary
Multiple contemporary news accounts report that Renée Nicole Good moved to Minneapolis in 2025, described variously as “last year,” “almost a year ago,” or “seven to eight months” before the January 7, 2026, shooting that killed her; no source consulted provides a precise moving date or day [1] [2] [3]. Reporting points consistently to a relocation from Kansas City, Missouri, to the Powderhorn/Twin Cities area in 2025, while fact-checkers and city officials confirm she was a resident of Minneapolis at the time of her death [4] [5] [6].
1. What the coverage actually says about timing
Major outlets covering the killing state that Good “moved to Minnesota last year” or that she and her wife “moved to the city … almost a year ago,” language that places the relocation in 2025 relative to the January 2026 incident [1] [2]. Reuters, the BBC and The Guardian repeat the same timeline, noting the move was recent and from Missouri, reinforcing that contemporary reporting treats the relocation as having occurred in 2025 rather than years earlier [7] [8] [9].
2. Narrower estimates from local reporting and public records
Local Kansas City reporting and property-record references provide a slightly tighter window: neighbors told FOX4KC that Good moved out of her Kansas City neighborhood “around seven or eight months ago,” which—relative to early January 2026—points to roughly May–June 2025 as the likely period of the move [3]. The Star Tribune and Minnesota Reformer characterize the relocation as recent and motivated by starting a new life in Minneapolis, language consistent with a mid‑2025 timeframe but not offering a specific date [5] [2].
3. Contradictions, skepticism and verification efforts
After the shooting, some social posts questioned whether Good actually lived in Minneapolis; those claims were addressed by fact‑checks and city officials who confirmed she was a Minneapolis resident at the time of her death, and multiple credible outlets had already described her as living in the city [6]. The available body of reporting shows convergence around “moved in 2025” but also demonstrates that precise public documentation of the exact moving day has not been published in the sources reviewed [6] [1].
4. What cannot be confirmed from the reporting
None of the cited articles or public summaries in the reporting supply a definitive moving date, lease start, or change‑of‑address record; the public narrative is built from family statements, neighbor accounts and local reporting that use relative timing—“last year,” “almost a year ago,” “seven or eight months ago”—rather than calendar dates [1] [2] [3]. Therefore, the clearest, evidence‑based answer available from these sources is that Renée Good moved to Minnesota in 2025, most likely in the spring to early summer months, but the exact day or month is not established in the reporting reviewed [3] [5].
5. Why the nuance matters
Precision about when Good relocated has been contested in social media narratives that aim to undermine accounts of her residency or community ties, and fact‑checking outlets explicitly rebut those challenges by pointing to consistent reporting that she was a Minneapolis resident [6]. The local details—neighbors’ recollections, property records and family statements—align on a 2025 move from Kansas City, but responsible reporting and verification practice require acknowledging the gap between that consensus and the absence of a single documentary timestamp in the public record [4] [3].
