The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent responsible for fatally shooting a Colombian man in Maine is facing serious scrutiny over his personal history, according to people who know him well.
The agent, who has a background as an Army veteran and former law enforcement officer, is being characterized by those closest to him as a violent individual who battles mental health issues.
His ex-wife and others in his inner circle say he should never have been permitted to carry a weapon, raising troubling questions about how the agent came to be employed in a role that requires one.
