Whitestown

The body of Maria Florinda Rios Perez de Velasquez, a Guatemalan woman killed in Indiana, has been returned to her native country. Ríos Perez, a mother of four, was shot on Nov. 5 while mistakenly trying to clean the wrong house in Whitestown.

The judge set bail at $25,000 at a Friday hearing for Curt Andersen, who was charged with shooting and killing house cleaner María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez in early November.

A Boone County prosecutor charged Whitestown's Curt Andersen with voluntary manslaughter, alleging he unlawfully shot a cleaning woman through his front door after she arrived at the wrong house for work.

Prosecutors say it will take days to decide whether to charge an Indiana homeowner they say shot and killed a house cleaner after she mistakenly went to the wrong address. Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood said in a news release that he anticipates it will take at least several days to review all the evidence in Maria Florinda Rios Perez De Velasquez's death Nov. 5.

A Lebanon vigil called for justice for María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez, a house cleaner who was shot and killed after going to the wrong home in Whitestown.

A deadly wrong-address shooting of a house cleaner in suburban Indianapolis is drawing national attention and renewed scrutiny of self-defense laws.

Transportation for people working jobs in Indianapolis’s donut counties will be offered for free in the new year.
