Authorities in Indiana are considering possible criminal charges against a resident who allegedly shot and killed a female after she mistakenly went to the wrong address where she believed scheduled to clean a property.

Officers found Maria Florinda Rios Perez De Velasquez, aged 32, deceased just before 7am at the entrance of a home in a suburban town, an area of approximately 10,000 residents outside Indianapolis.

She was part of a cleaning team that had gone to the wrong address, police stated in a press statement.

Officials did not publicly named the person who fired, but investigators turned over the results from the investigation to Kent Eastwood, the county prosecutor, on Friday.

The incident will focus on Indiana’s self-defense statutes, which allow a person to use lethal force to prevent what they reasonably believe is an illegal entry into their dwelling.

But the shooting has shocked many. The victim’s spouse, Mauricio Velazquez, told WRTV that he was present with her at the home’s entrance but didn’t realize she had been shot until she collapsed into his arms, bleeding. On a fundraising page, her brother said that Rios Perez was a mother of four.

A majority of US states have similar laws like Indiana’s in place, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

In similar cases elsewhere, authorities have successfully brought charges against individuals who opened fire outside their residences, such as a guilty plea by an 86-year-old man who shot Ralph Yarl when the teen came to his door accidentally. In New York, a person was found guilty of second-degree murder for fatally shooting a female inside a car who drove down his driveway in error.

This tragic event highlights ongoing debates about stand-your-ground statutes and how they are applied in everyday situations.
