Less than a week after the fatal shooting of 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a Houston traffic stop, a strikingly similar incident unfolded in Biddeford, Maine. On the morning of July 13, 2026, Joan Sebastian Guerrero was driving to work when Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulled him over and fatally shot him. No video evidence has been released showing the moments leading up to the shooting.

In an interview with the Associated Press, local resident Daniel Boucher described what he witnessed from his third-floor window. After hearing a "pop, pop, pop," sound, he looked outside to find a small sedan "turned 90 degrees to the curb," with an SUV pinned behind it. The driver was already wounded and the car began to drift down the street until the SUV struck it again. Boucher recalled, "His face was bloody. His head was bloody. I clearly heard the victim say, 'I tried to stop.'" In the grainy footage from a nearby security camera, the sedan can be seen making slow circles through the intersection until a law enforcement SUV drives in front of the vehicle to block its path. An ICE agent is then seen opening the driver's door, pulling out Sebastian Guerrero's lifeless body, and placing him on the floor in handcuffs.

In a statement by The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, they claimed that agents were surveilling an address for a person with a final order of removal from the country. When ICE tried to stop a vehicle driven by someone coming from that address, the "vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon," Details on why the agent believed Sebastian Guerrero was public safety risk where not provided. They later confirmed that Sebastian Guerrero was not the intended target of that operation.

At just 26 years old, Sebastian Guerrero had already built a new life and was legally authorized to work in the US. He left his hometown of Bucaramanga, Colombia, for Southern Maine, where he tirelessly worked two jobs to provide for his wife and young daughter. They lived in a three-story apartment building just steps away from the intersection that would tragically became the site of his murder at the hands of racist thugs who continue to amplify their terror on immigrant communities with impunity.
