Final moments revealed in deadly Maine ICE confrontation

Updates on the fatal ICE-involved shooting in Maine included an identity and immigration status, along with alleged final words after a supposed vehicle stop gone wrong.

Monday in Biddeford, Maine, ire against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was rekindled anew when “targeted surveillance” resulted in the death of 26-year-old Colombian native Joan Sebastian Guerrero. Amid the start of an FBI-led investigation, witness statements and footage pieced together an alleged attempt to flee that ended with the man reportedly stating, “I tried to stop.”

According to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, officials were “conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal,” when an “illegal alien departed the residence in a vehicle. ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.”

“The driver of the vehicle was struck, and emergency services were immediately contacted. He passed away from his injuries,” concluded DHS.

Speaking with the press about the fatal shooting, Maine Sen. Angus King (I) contended that DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin told him the Colombian man was not the focus of the arrest warrant. While some corporate media outlets indicated that the decedent was legally in the United States, King remarked during a news conference that the man had received an order to leave the country.

Mullin was also said to have relayed the claim Guerrero had “weaponized” his vehicle prior to the tempered statement from DHS about “fearing for public safety. Local resident Daniel Boucher told NBC News that he heard the man say, “I tried to stop.”

He described hearing the shots before seeing a large white vehicle ram into another vehicle, collide again, and then an officer pulled a wounded man whose head was bleeding out of one of the vehicles: “Nobody should have to see what I saw.” The other vehicle was a KIA sedan, said to be driven by Guerrero, which could be seen circling an intersection while a man attempted to open the door from the outside before photos from the scene showed at least four holes in the windshield.

NBC News further detailed that neighbor Nelson Elias reported seeing the Colombian man’s wife crying, holding the hand of her young daughter at the scene

As word of the shooting circulated, protesters reportedly attempted to storm the office of Maine Sen. Susan Collins (R), chanting “Vote her out!” “Whose streets? Our streets!” and anti-ICE messages.

Meanwhile, as public officials resorted to demonizing ICE anew before all the details could come to light, and the week after another fatal ICE-involved shooting in Houston, Colombia’s embassy in the U.S. stated that it “is providing the necessary consular assistance” to the family of the fatally shot Colombian national and it has “requested information and clarification from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding the circumstances surrounding this lamentable death and will continue to follow the case closely as the investigation progresses.”
