He was 32 years old and had just got the address wrong. Local authorities are evaluating whether there are grounds to charge a local resident.
Maria Florinda Rios Perez, 32 years old, would work in a house as maid. You were wrong girlfriend. He got shot, he was murdered.
The case took place in a suburb of Indianapolis, in the USA, more precisely in Whitestown. The woman was found dead shortly before 7am on Wednesday.
Maria was part of a cleaning team who had moved to the wrong house, reported the police statement, cited in .
Her husband, Mauricio Velazquez, said he was also at the scene. But he only realized that his wife had been shot when she fell into his arms, bleeding.
The victim had four children and was from a family from Guatemala.
Authorities are evaluating whether they will accuse the inhabitant of that house – whose identity was not revealed.
Prosecutor Kent Eastwood explained that the investigators’ conclusions will still be thoroughly analyzed; everything to understand what happened in the moments before the shot.
“Every second” of recorded witness interviews and security camera footage will be reviewed.
“You have to understand all the details to understand what happened and what is reasonable. One of the hardest things these days is reaching a consensus on what is reasonable. As a prosecutor, we have to deal with these issues”, admitted the prosecutor.
This case, continues the AP, once again brings to the surface the Indiana state self-defense laws; the laws allow a person to use weapons to prevent what they “reasonably believe to be an unlawful entry into their residence.”
Indiana is not an isolated case. Of the 50 states, 31 have similar laws in effect.
