An ICE agent identified as 37-year-old David Brouillette is reportedly in protective government custody after he allegedly shot 25-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford on July 13. The DHS has declined to confirm his identity, while public records tie him to ICE in May and June. The shooting is under investigation by the DHS Office of the Inspector General and the Maine Attorney General; Brouillette has a history—or allegations—involving domestic violence as described by his ex‑wives. Separately, a related custody case saw a request for protection orders denied on evidentiary grounds.
Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian immigrant with work authorization who worked as a delivery driver in Biddeford, was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent early Monday after a confrontation at a Biddeford intersection. ICE says Guerrero was not the target and was trying to flee; surveillance shows his white Kia being rammed before officers removed him. The Colombian Embassy confirmed his identity, and his family and partner mourn his loss as neighbors recount his work ethic and generosity. Colombian President Gustavo Petro called the killing a “murder at the hands of the U.S. government.” A vigil is planned in Bucaramanga and a GoFundMe fundraiser has raised close to $100,000 for Guerrero’s family. The incident remains under investigation.
