David Michael Brouillette’s ex-wife said he is the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, according to Thursday reporting by The Portland Press Herald.
“He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,” Ashley Brouillette told the newspaper. “I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.”
According to the Press Herald, which reviewed a screenshot of incoming calls to Ashley Brouillette, she said that she’d seen video footage of the shooting and told her ex-husband that “nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.”
Common Dreams has not independently verified Ashley Brouillette’s claims—which also included that he was abusive during their relationship; she previously reported concerns about the US Army veteran’s mental health to his superiors in the military; and she and her family have received threats since reports of her ex’s involvement in the shooting began to spread online.
The US Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, has refused to name any involved agents, and David Brouillette—a Manchester-based 37-year-old who is also a licensed real estate agent and has held various law enforcement and public safety jobs in the state—did not respond to the Press Herald’s multiple requests for comment.
However, “a witness to the Biddeford shooting, Daniel Boucher, told the Press Herald he saw an agent on scene who matched Brouillette’s description,” the newspaper noted. “Three people who worked with Brouillette at the Manchester Fire Department also confirmed that Brouillette was pictured in images they saw from video of the scene in Biddeford after the shooting.”
David Brouillette was previously identified as the shooter by TheICEList.org, a website founded by Netherlands-based immigration activist Dominick Skinner that serves as “a public, verifiable record of US immigration enforcement—incidents, agents, deaths, vehicles, and facilities—documented with sources and open to everyone.”

That is a damn brave woman.
i bet she’s just unaware of the hell she’s unleashed upon herself for doing a good deed.
no good deed goes unpunished in capitalist america. lol
And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.”
It really just doesn’t mean anything anymore when they say this
And it never did even to them. It was always just a tool to disrupt the true narrative - murder of innocent people by state actors - and once even the low-information public knows it’s a lie, they’ll just move on to another one.
If there is any justice in the world, he will be shot and killed just like he did to Guerrero. Personally, I’d celebrate and attempt to legally aid (to the maximum extent permissible by law) anyone who took Brouillette’s life.
I’m much for a scarring that leaves a lifetime of suffering and acts as a warning to all others who would choose the same course of action. Maybe blinding and cutting out his tongue so he’s mute and blind till the end of his days? Oh, and castration so he can’t pass on such shitty genes.
No thanks, I want him trying to cut a deal by ratting on the rest of the rats. Which will cut his life sentence short but not like he thinks
No, death is too easy - there needs to be suffering as prolonged as any felt by those who cared about the man he murdered.
Did you read he’s also a real estate agent?
OFF WITH HIS (lower) HEAD!!!
