Homeowner charged in fatal shooting
LEBANON, Ind. (AP) — Prosecutors have filed a voluntary manslaughter charge against an Indiana homeowner accused of killing a house cleaner after she showed up at a house by mistake. Curt Andersen could face up to 10 to 30 years in prison if he’s convicted. Officers found Maria Florinda Rios Perez De Velasquez dead on the front porch of a Whitestown home on Nov. 5. Authorities said the 32-year-old Guatemalan immigrant was part of a cleaning crew that had gone to the wrong address. Indiana is one of 31 states with a stand-your-ground law that allows homeowners to kill intruders, but police said there’s no evidence the woman entered the house.
