Second ex-wife of ICE agent who shot man in Biddeford recounts history of violent behavior
The ex-wife of an ICE agent involved in a fatal shooting in Biddeford has come forward with allegations of a long history of domestic abuse. She claims she had previously warned authorities about his violent behavior and is currently seeking custody of their child.
Why it matters
The report raises questions about the vetting and oversight of law enforcement officers and the handling of domestic violence allegations within the judicial system.
The second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent identified as the man who shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford on Monday, sent a message to reporters Saturday morning recounting what she described as Brouillette’s violent, abusive behavior, and that she had long anticipated his capacity to kill.
“If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes,” Lucinda Brouillette wrote.
“That belief is not based on speculation, but on my own lived experiences over many years,” she said. “I have feared for a long time that his anger, aggression, and escalating behavior would eventually result in severe, life threatening violence, and I often believed I would be the one on the receiving end of it.”
