Law enforcement officials in the state are considering possible criminal charges against a homeowner who allegedly shot and killed a female when she mistakenly went to the incorrect location thinking she was scheduled to clean a property.

Officers found the victim, 32 years old, dead early Wednesday morning on the front porch of a residence in Whitestown, an area of about 10,000 residents near Indianapolis.

She was part of a cleaning crew that had arrived at the wrong address, police stated in a press statement.

Authorities have not publicly identified the person who fired, but investigators turned over the results from the investigation to Kent Eastwood, the local district attorney, 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 home.

However the killing has stunned the community. Rios Perez’s husband, her husband, stated to local media that he was standing with her at the front door but was unaware she had been shot until she fell into his arms, injured. On a fundraising page, her brother said that Rios Perez was a parent to four children.

Thirty-one states have comparable statutes like Indiana’s in place, as reported by the national legislative research group.

In similar cases in other states, prosecutors have successfully brought charges against individuals who opened fire outside their residences, such as a guilty plea by an 86-year-old man who fired at Ralph Yarl when the teen approached his home by mistake. In New York, a person was found guilty of homicide for killing a woman in a vehicle who drove down his property in error.

The incident highlights continuing discussions about self-defense laws and their application in everyday situations.
