Cleaner shot to death after going to wrong house

Authorities are considering whether to charge an Indiana homeowner who they say shot and killed a woman working as a house cleaner after she mistakenly went to the wrong address. Police officers found 32-year-old Maria Florinda Rios Perez dead just before 7 a.m. Wednesday on the front porch of the home in Whitestown, an Indianapolis suburb of about 10,000 people, according to a police news release. She was part of a cleaning crew that had gone to the wrong address, the release said.

Rios Perez's husband, Mauricio Velazquez, told WRTV in Indianapolis that he and his wife had been cleaning homes for seven months. Velazquez said he was standing with her at the home's front door on Wednesday morning but didn't realize she had been shot until she fell into his arms, bleeding.

... The case brings Indiana's castle doctrine laws squarely into play, he said. Those laws allow a person to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to stop what they reasonably believe is an unlawful entry into their dwelling. ...

Is knocking on a door, or ringing a doorbell an unlawful entry?

Guns keep us safe from clean homes.

@#4 ... Guns keep us safe from clean homes. ...

OK, my neighbor's son one time knocked on my front door.

He is not a white Christian, but a person of color.

The neighbor had just moved in to the adjacent rental property, so I did not know them.

So, this person, who I did not know, knocks on my door. I answer the knocking.

I open the door.

Was the first thing on my mind to shoot him dead?

No. Absolutely not.

I asked him, "what's up?"

He said that lives in the adjacent house and that his cell phone battery is dead and he needs to call his Mom because he cannot find the spare key to his house. Can he use my phone?

I said, sure.

I gave him my phone to use.

I also watched as he subsequently went into the adjacent house.

True story.

Sorry, but if that door is intact with no damage indicating attempted break in, the home owner should be charged.

Castle Doctrine doesn't give one the right to kill for simply being on your porch.

I agree, 100%.

I look forward to the court case here to see what evidence each side has to offer.

Probably has bullet holes in it.

A white imbecile shot a Doordash deliveryman who was lost in NYS. The NYSP then discovered the shooter, a well-paid civil servant, was also trafficking in illegal firearms. This white supremacist had a good little deal going for himself in his quiet little corner of the world making money, until his irrational racist fear of non-whites undid him.
