The tragic death of Johan Guerrero, a Colombian immigrant, has left his partner Karolina Rojas heartbroken. Guerrero was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent in Biddeford, Maine. Rojas pleaded for people to remember him for his dedication to his family rather than the way he died.
Rojas described Guerrero, 25, as a tireless worker who detested idleness. He was an affectionate partner who treated her like royalty and a devoted father whose greatest joy was his 3-year-old daughter. Guerrero’s life transformed from the moment he knew he was having a daughter.
Speaking at a news conference, Rojas read a statement in Spanish, reflecting on Guerrero’s commitment to ensuring their daughter never lacked anything. From the day he held her hand, he dedicated himself to giving her a better life.
The shooting remains under investigation. Guerrero was not the intended target in the operation, according to Senator Angus King’s spokesman. The incident occurred while Guerrero was in his car, heading to work early in the morning.
