Has the family of Renee Good released any official statement about funeral arrangements since January 13, 2026?

1. Public statements issued — content and purpose

The family and close relations have issued public statements emphasizing grief, calls for empathy, and demands for transparency and accountability after the Jan. 7 shooting, with coverage of those statements appearing in outlets including KARE11, The Guardian and People; those statements memorialize Renee Good and press for justice but focus on values and investigation rather than funeral plans ^{[4] [5] [6]}. Family attorneys have framed public communications as part of a broader campaign for transparency and possible legal action, signaling that information-sharing is being managed through counsel ^{[7] [1]}.

2. Reporting that funeral plans have not been announced

Several news organizations explicitly report that the family had not announced funeral arrangements as of their reporting: the New York Times noted the family was waiting on autopsy results and that "no funeral plans had been announced" ^[2], while Star Tribune and Tribune Content Agency coverage relayed the family's attorney saying memorial and funeral arrangements "have yet to be arranged" after the body was turned over to the family ^{[1] [3]}. Those consistent, contemporaneous reports form the basis for stating there has been no official funeral announcement in the cited coverage ^{[2] [1] [3]}.

3. Legal context shaping public messaging

The family's retention of high-profile counsel — Romanucci & Blandin — and the stated intention to await investigative and medical-examiner findings has shaped their public posture, with attorneys telling reporters they would provide timely and transparent updates and that the family was awaiting autopsy results before arranging memorials or funeral plans ^{[7] [1]}. Reporting also notes the transfer of the body to the family and the attorneys’ outreach to federal agencies, suggesting legal considerations may be influencing the timing and content of any future funeral-related statement ^{[1] [8]}.

4. Community memorial activity versus family-organized services

While the family itself has not announced formal funeral arrangements in the cited reports, communities have organized vigils, memorials and processions in Renee Good’s honor — events covered by local and national outlets that underscore public mourning independent of a family-led funeral announcement ^{[9] [10]}. These community responses have been widely reported ^{[9] [10]}, but none of those accounts indicate they are official funeral services announced by Good’s family.

5. Alternative readings and implicit agendas in coverage

Some reporting foregrounds the family's calls for justice and the involvement of a law firm experienced in high-profile civil rights cases, which can amplify expectations for public transparency while simultaneously encouraging restraint around details like funeral timing as part of legal strategy ^{[7] [1]}. News outlets’ emphasis on the absence of announced funeral plans may reflect both factual reporting and interest in procedural developments tied to investigations and potential litigation ^{[2] [8]}.

6. Limitations of the available reporting

The conclusion rests on the set of sources gathered through Jan. 27, 2026; if the family issued an official statement about funeral arrangements after Jan. 13, 2026 that did not appear in the cited coverage, that update is not reflected here. The sources explicitly saying "no funeral plans had been announced" or that arrangements "have yet to be arranged" form the basis for the finding that, in the reporting assembled, there is no record of a family-released funeral announcement ^{[2] [1] [3]}.
