New Actor: Sen. King demands transparent Guerrero shooting probe
ABC News and CBS News said Tuesday that the man fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer during a Monday morning operation in Biddeford, Maine, was not the intended target—ABC citing an official and CBS citing lawmakers.
Time identified the victim as 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero, and local station WMTW said a family friend named him. Maine Morning Star reported that House Speaker Ryan Fecteau and local authorities confirmed ICE agents were involved. The Portland Press Herald quoted a resident who heard the man say, "I tried to stop," and saw him bleeding from the head.
The Department of Homeland Security said the officer fired while "fearing for public safety," according to WBAL-TV. Sen. Angus King said he wants a transparent investigation into the shooting, per CBS News.
State officials told the New York Times the agent fired into a vehicle, making this the second fatal ICE shooting involving shots into a vehicle in a week. The BBC noted it came less than a week after an immigration agent fatally shot an undocumented migrant in Houston.
The BBC also described Guerrero as a Colombian national during an ICE operation; other outlets did not specify his nationality.
