Philadelphia, PA – Philadelphia officials are responding after the death of Renee Nicole Good, an incident the city’s sheriff says should never have occurred and does not reflect professional law enforcement standards.
According to a statement released today by the Office of the Sheriff of Philadelphia, Sheriff Rochelle Bilal publicly named Good and condemned the actions involved, emphasizing that law enforcement officers do not operate while masked, do not fire at moving vehicles, and do not provoke illegal actions.
“This should not have happened,” Bilal said in the statement, adding that Philadelphia stands for “real, professional law enforcement — not masked individuals committing crimes in our communities.”
The sheriff also aligned with Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, stating that anyone who comes into the city to commit a crime will be held accountable, with “no cover, protection, and no hiding.” The statement did not identify suspects or specify investigative agencies, but underscored that accountability applies regardless of affiliation.
Officials stressed that the incident represents a single reckless act and should not define the broader law enforcement community. According to Bilal, officers who serve Philadelphia residents professionally continue to work daily to protect neighborhoods and build trust.
The statement comes amid heightened public concern and scrutiny, as community members seek clarity and transparency surrounding the circumstances that led to Good’s death. Authorities have not released additional details about the timeline, location, or individuals involved.
Residents with information related to the case are encouraged to cooperate with investigators as the review continues.
