BIDDEFORD, Maine (WGME) -- The ICE agent accused of shooting and killing a young father in Biddeford had a record of workplace problems, alleged domestic abuse and mental health issues, according to the New York Times. Officials said ICE Officer David Brouillette, a Gardiner native, fatally shot 25-year-old Colombian national Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero while serving as part of an ICE operation in Biddeford on July 13. At least four gunshots went through the windshield of a car, and Guerrero died at the scene. The Department of Homeland Security said the vehicle tried to flee and that Brouillette fired because he feared for public safety. In July, Ashley Brouillette, an ex-wife of Brouillette, spoke with CNN, and claimed her ex called her after the shooting and admitted to being the agent who shot Guerrero. She said he told her it was "justified" and done in self-defense.
