A 32-year-old mother of four from Guatemala, Maria Florinda Rios Perez was fatally shot on Wednesday morning while performing her job as a house cleaner.

She and her husband, Mauricio Velazquez, had arrived at the wrong home for a cleaning appointment when the shooting occurred, police say.

The couple was on the front porchof the home in the Indianapolis suburb shortly before 7 a.m. local time when the gunfire struck. Authorities say the two did not enter the homeand that the case has been submitted to the Boone County Prosecutor’s Office to determine whether criminal charges will be filed.

Mr. Velazquez told CBS News that the bullet came “right through the door of the home” and called for justice for his wife. “They should’ve called the police first instead of just shooting out of nowhere,” he said through an interpreter. The case is complicated by Indiana’s stand-your-ground law, which allows residents to use deadly force to prevent death or serious injury. Police have not identified who fired the shot, citing the evolving and delicate nature of the investigation.

Rios Perez’s death is part of a troubling pattern of similar incidents across the United States, including the deaths of Kaylin Gillis in New York and Ralph Yarl in Missouri, who were also shot after mistakenly arriving at the wrong homes.

Authorities have urged the public to avoid spreading misinformation online while the investigation continues. Meanwhile, friends and family remember Maria as a devoted mother and hard-working woman who faced her job with dedication.
