Summary

  • Karolina Rojas, speaking publicly for the first time Thursday in Biddeford, said Johan Guerrero should be remembered for his drive to build a better life for his family, not for how he died.
  • Guerrero, 25, was described by Rojas as a tireless worker, devoted partner and father whose greatest joy was his 3-year-old daughter and whose focus was making sure she never lacked for anything.
  • Senior officials told Senator Angus King's office that Guerrero was not the intended target of the immigration operation during which he was fatally shot Monday.
  • Investigators still have not released details of the shooting, which happened just after 7 a.m. as Guerrero sat in his car heading to work in Biddeford, Maine.
