Brunelle Charged with Murder and Explosives | Portland Maine News

A 58-year-old man, Keith Brunelle, is facing murder and criminal use of explosives charges after the fatal shooting of 48-year-old Jimmy Smith in his driveway on September 1. Brunelle, appearing in court with hands and feet shackled, hasn’t entered a plea yet, and the explosive charge remains shrouded in mystery due to sealed evidence. Neighbors remain silent, and while a GoFundMe for Smith’s family has raised nearly $2,400, key details about the motive and circumstances are still hidden behind court secrecy. Brunelle is held without bail in Cumberland County Jail, with no next court date set — leaving the community and investigators in suspense as this case unfolds.
