DHS breaks hours of silence on deadly ICE shooting in Maine, saying officer was ‘fearing for public safety’ | CNN

The man in the fatal shooting was 25-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero from Colombia, his neighbor told CNN. • Victim identified after DHS speaks out: Federal agents shot and killed a 25-year-old Colombian man — identified as Joan Sebastian Guerrero by a neighbor — during an immigration enforcement operation in Maine on Monday morning. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired his weapon “fearing for public safety” as the victim “attempted to flee the scene,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement nearly 12 hours after the incident. • Conflicting accounts: Guerrero was “NOT the target of the warrant,” Sen. Angus King’s office said after the lawmaker again spoke with DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. King said earlier, citing a separate conversation with Mullin, that the man was the target of a warrant. • A young father and husband: Guerrero’s neighbor said the young man, who was headed to work when the shooting happened, lived with his partner and their 3-year-old daughter. “He was a good person,” his neighbor told CNN.
