Law enforcement officials in the state are weighing possible criminal charges against a homeowner who reportedly shot and killed a woman after she mistakenly went to the wrong address where she believed scheduled to clean a home.

Police discovered Maria Florinda Rios Perez De Velasquez, 32 years old, dead just before 7am on the front porch of a residence in a suburban town, an area of about 10,000 residents outside Indianapolis.

She was part of a cleaning crew that had arrived at the incorrect house, according to police in a press statement.

Officials did not publicly named the person who fired, but investigators turned over their findings from the probe to the Boone County prosecutor, the local district attorney, on Friday.

The incident will highlight Indiana’s self-defense statutes, which permit residents to use lethal force to prevent what they reasonably believe is an unlawful intrusion into their dwelling.

However the killing has stunned the community. The victim’s spouse, Mauricio Velazquez, stated to local media that he was standing with her at the home’s entrance but didn’t realize she had been hit until she fell into his arms, injured. On a online donation site, her brother mentioned that she was a parent to four children.

A majority of US states have similar laws like Indiana’s on the books, as reported by the national legislative research group.

In similar cases in other states, authorities have filed criminal charges against people who used a firearm outside their residences, including a admission of guilt by an 86-year-old man who fired at a Black teenager after the youth came to his door accidentally. In New York, a person was found guilty of homicide for killing a female in a vehicle who drove down his property by mistake.

This tragic event highlights ongoing debates surrounding stand-your-ground statutes and how they are applied in real-life scenarios.
