New Facts: ICE agents fatally shoot Joan Sebastian Guerrero

An ICE agent fatally shot a motorist in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday morning, July 13; local outlet WGME places the incident around 7:30 a.m., and the New York Times says the person was in a vehicle.

Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau and U.S. Sen. Angus King said the shooting involved U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Biddeford, a fact also reported by Reuters and the New York Times.

Authorities, including the Maine Attorney General’s Office, have opened an investigation into the shooting, according to multiple outlets.

The victim was a 26-year-old man, a detail carried by News Center Maine and others; immigrant rights groups identified him as Colombian, per Spectrum News and Border Report, while officials have not publicly released his name.

Sen. King’s office and U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said the man who was killed was not the target of the arrest operation the agents were conducting.

This is the second fatal ICE-involved shooting in a week; less than a week earlier in Houston, an ICE agent shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the Houston Chronicle and AP-derived reports noted.
