Overview
- Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero was shot and killed by an ICE officer as he left his Biddeford home on July 13 after agents said his car veered toward an officer.
- Democratic members of Congress held a field hearing in Biddeford on August 17 to record family and witness testimony and to press for federal accountability.
- Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey said his office is actively investigating and under state law the AG leads criminal probes of deadly force while federal roles from DHS, the FBI and the inspector general remain unclear publicly.
- No officers involved were wearing body cameras, available video and forensic details are limited, and reporting identified the shooter as David Brouillette whose past abuse allegations have prompted questions about ICE vetting.
- The Guerrero family says federal agencies have not contacted them, their lawyer has signaled a likely civil suit, and lawmakers plan to push for oversight, policy changes, and answers from the Department of Justice.
