Maria Florinda Rios Perez was fatally shot after arriving at the wrong home for a house-cleaning appointment US officials are looking into whether to file charges against an Indiana homeowner who shot and killed a house cleaner who mistakenly showed up at the wrong address.
Police say they found Maria Florinda Rios Perez dead in her husband's arms on the front porch of a home on Wednesday shortly before 0700 local time (12:00 GMT).
Authorities had been responding to a call about a possible home invasion in the Indianapolis suburb of Whitestown. The two did not appear to have entered the home, police said in a statement.
They have formally submitted the case to the Boone County Prosecutor's Office for review to determine whether criminal charges will be brought in the case.
Police have not identified the people in the home or who fired the shot, saying in a statement on Friday that it is a "complex, delicate, and evolving case, and it would be both inappropriate and potentially dangerous to disclose that information".
They urged patience, warning of a "concerning spread of misinformation online" about the case.
Mauricio Velazquez, told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that he wanted justice for his 32-year-old wife.
News reports say that she was a mother of four and originally from Guatemala.
In an interview with CBS affiliate WTTV, Mr Velazquez said the bullet came right through the door of the home.
"They should've called the police first instead of just shooting out of nowhere like that," he said through an interpreter.

First degree homicide?
“[if] you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.”
-Joe Biden
RIP poor woman.
Illegals? Yeah I know, I don’t care.
Just following President Joe Biden’s commands “Just shoot through your front door! That’s what I would do!”. (Actually was stated by Joe.)
This story doesn’t add up. Info is missing or misleading.

“This story doesn’t add up. Info is missing or misleading.”
Maybe, but I could see it playing out as written. Paranoid homeowner, maybe elderly, maybe previous crime victim. Maybe knows somebody who suffered home invasion. Idiot takes Biden’s advice. Maybe a tweaker hopped up on dope and ultra paranoid. So many possibilities.
Or, maybe, as you say, something else entirely.
This is SO sad.
My best guess.
Sounds like the home owner did call the police.

Right. What kind of homeowner believes an expected cleaning person must be a home invader?

They weren’t expected, they were at the wrong house. That’s why the key didn’t work.
If the cleaning person was at the wrong house, then the homeowner wasn’t expecting a cleaning person. Plus, it was dark when this happened. The police got there at 7 am. Sunrise didn’t happen until 7:20.
I’m not taking either side. There are a lot of questions that haven’t been answered but the ones I posted above are facts. I’m sure there are other facts that we haven’t been made aware of yet.
So you don’t care that this woman was shot doing nothing but trying to work, because she was (maybe) illegal?
Just an editorial comment; if that is in fact your view, then please don’t tell me you’re a Christian. Because you are not.
She went to the wrong house. The shooter wasn’t expecting anyone.

Read it. She’s not a US cleaning woman. She’s from Guatemala and they knew they were at the wrong house because the key did not fit the lock.
They never understood our customs and language enough to know they were at the wrong address and was fumbling around at the door. According to Indiana law, it was a good shoot.
If they are illegals, then this never would have happened if they stayed in their own country.
I’m sorry, I have no sympathy.
“… said the bullet came right through the door of the home.”
Bad shoot, but I would recommend the Pres. Biden defense.
“ I said, “Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.”

Here's my possible scenario ...
1. Cleaning lady arrives at the wrong house and tries unsuccessfully to use her key to open the door.
2. This is apparently early in the morning and probably dark out, so homeowner is alarmed and thinks there's a burglar breaking in.
3. Homeowner starts yelling through the door, telling the "intruder" to get the hell out of there, and warning that he has a gun.
4. Cleaning lady doesn't speak a word of English, has no idea what he's yelling, and continues to try to get into the home.
Let's see how this plays out. I'm almost willing to bet money that this is exactly what happened.
