I have told this story before, but it is applicable here.

About 10 years ago, on New Year's Eve, my cousin was dropped off at his condo by a friend. All the condos looked the same and my cousin was dropped off at the wrong one. He tried to get in the front door with is key, but it didn't work. He knocked on the door and then probably realized that it was the wrong house.

The homeowner then shot him on the back as my cousin was leaving and he died on the front lawn.

Do I think that this current homeowner is responsible for killing a man outside his door, my answer would be yes.

From this article:
When the intruder disregarded another request to leave, the homeowner fired several shots through the door. The intruder then walked a short distance down the street and collapsed.

From the tale of your unfortunate cousin:
He tried to get in the front door with is key, but it didn't work. He knocked on the door and then probably realized that it was the wrong house. The homeowner then shot him on the back as my cousin was leaving and he died on the front lawn.

I hope you have enough of your wits about you, give the personal nature of this issue, to see the critical difference between your cousin's case and this one.
