Summary
Ashley Brouillette, 37, said her ex-husband David Brouillette, 37, told her he fatally shot a Colombian immigrant in Maine on Monday and insisted the shooting was justified.
Her account newly identifies the suspected shooter after DHS withheld the agent's name; she said he asked her to say he was a good person and not disclose abuse during their marriage.
Video evidence remains inconclusive: no footage has emerged showing who fired the fatal shot, though Ashley Brouillette said she saw images placing him at the scene.
Two other people — a relative and a high school friend — said they recognized Brouillette in video and witness photos, while a post-shooting clip appears to show another agent consoling him.
