A candlelight vigil took place in New Castle on Saturday in remembrance of Renee Nicole Good, a woman who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026.

Jodi D'Andrea, director of transgender care at the New Castle Prism Initiative, said that ICE has interrupted the lives of many and mentioned that the "innocent people that are getting killed because of them is outrageous."

"We are honoring a life that was taken by ICE, not legally, I believe," D'Andrea said. "...even though she was a member of the LGBTQ, it was a lost life," D'Andrea said regarding Good. 

The New Castle Prism Initiative event was aimed at serving as a safe space for those hoping to cherish, love and respect each other regardless of political party or where they live, D'Andrea said. 

"Why does it have to be a death that gets everyone together?" D'Andrae said. "I'm a veteran of the United States Airforce and to see rights dwindle away, that I served and protected, it shocks me." 

D'Andrea says that the country they fought for "is basically becoming not a safe space."

The New Castle Prism Initiative is an LGBTQIA+ outreach program that rejects "any form of discrimination or hate towards individuals based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other aspect of their identity."
