Duran Duran paid tribute to the victim of a fatal ICE shooting in Minnesota during a recent concert.

At its Friday (Jan. 9) concert at the Thunder Valley Casino in Sacramento, California, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame–inducted band dedicated its 1993 song “Ordinary World” to 37‑year‑old Renee Good, who was shot and killed earlier in the week during an ICE operation in Minnesota.

The somber moment was captured in a fan-recorded video posted on Threads.

“We believe that people in this world have a right to live their lives in peace and lives of freedom and happiness in their own country,” Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon told the audience. “For all the ordinary people in this world, we wish upon you an ordinary world.”

“Ordinary World” appears on the band’s self-titled 1993 album, commonly known as the Wedding Album.

On Wednesday (Jan. 7), Good was shot and killed in her car during the ICE operation. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, along with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, has maintained that the shooting by officer Jonathan Ross was in self-defense.

Footage from the incident shows that seconds before the shooting, Good attempted to drive away from the confrontation. DHS officials have claimed that she had been trying to “run over” the officer with her vehicle.

In the wake of Good’s death, Minneapolis residents have rallied to mourn her loss and protest ICE’s presence in the city. Mayor Jacob Frey called for federal agents to leave Minneapolis, saying in a press conference, “This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed.”
