Family of Renee Good Seeks Justice, Hires Renowned Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump

It’s the kind of story that just grips your heart, isn't it? The family of Renee Good, a 57-year-old woman whose life ended far too soon after a routine traffic stop, has now brought in one of the nation's most prominent civil rights advocates: attorney Ben Crump. They’re desperate for answers, for justice, and for the truth behind what happened to Renee on that fateful day in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Renee Good was found deceased in her car on July 13th, parked in a business lot. A mere two hours earlier, she had been pulled over by Fayetteville police for what they described as an expired registration. Now, here’s where the narrative gets incredibly murky and deeply troubling. Her family, utterly heartbroken and bewildered, believes that police officers were aware of Renee experiencing a significant medical emergency during or immediately following that stop. Yet, somehow, she was allowed to drive away, only to be found dead a short distance later.

Ben Crump, a name synonymous with high-profile civil rights cases, having represented the families of George Floyd and Trayvon Martin, has been retained by Renee’s grieving loved ones. He minced no words, stating unequivocally that his firm is committed to conducting a thorough, independent investigation. The family has had limited access to bodycam footage, which they say paints a concerning picture. They argue that the officers' actions, or lack thereof, may have directly contributed to Renee's tragic demise.

The Fayetteville Police Department, for its part, offers a different account. They claim that during the stop, officers did indeed offer medical assistance to Renee, which she reportedly declined. Following this, she then drove off. But it leaves you with a gnawing question, doesn't it? If an individual is in such clear medical distress that officers feel compelled to offer aid, why would they then be permitted to operate a vehicle and leave the scene? This is precisely the kind of crucial detail the family and attorney Crump are demanding be addressed.

This isn't just about an expired tag; it's about a human life and the profound responsibility of those in authority. Renee Good's family isn't just seeking compensation; they’re yearning for clarity, for accountability, and for assurances that no other family will endure such a harrowing loss under similar circumstances. As the autopsy results remain pending, the pressure mounts on the Fayetteville Police Department to provide complete transparency. Ben Crump and the family are determined to ensure Renee's story isn't swept under the rug, and that every single unanswered question receives the full, truthful answer it deserves.
