Judge Denies ICE Agent David Brouillette Ex-Wife's Protection Order Request After Fatal Monday Shooting

3 articles · Updated · Press Herald · Jul 17

Summary

  • A Kennebec County judge on Thursday denied a protection-from-abuse request filed by David Brouillette's second ex-wife, who also sought sole custody of their young daughter after Monday's fatal shooting in Biddeford.
  • The woman said the highly publicized investigation had triggered media attention and created immediate safety concerns for the child, but the judge found the allegations insufficient to show an immediate and present danger of abuse.
  • Brouillette, 37, has been identified as the ICE agent who shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero; he has not been charged in state or federal court, and deadly-force investigations are still pending.
  • Court records show Brouillette and the ex-wife filed multiple abuse-protection orders against each other over the past decade and fought over child support through 2025.
  • A follow-up hearing was ordered within 21 days as another ex-wife separately told the Press Herald that Brouillette asked her to lie about his character and had abused and harassed her.
