An Indiana homeowner was hit with manslaughter charges for allegedly shooting a mother of four on his doorstep after she arrived at the wrong house for a cleaning job, according to authorities.

Curt Andersen, 62, was arrested and booked on one count of voluntary manslaughter for the killing of Maria Florinda Ríos Pérez, Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood told reporters Monday.

The charge against Andersen follow a “comprehensive evaluation” that found the homeowner’s actions were not protected by the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law, Eastwood said.

Pérez, 32, was shot dead in the Indianapolis suburb of Whitestone on the morning of Nov. 5 after trying to get into the wrong home using keys she and her husband were given for a cleaning job through their housekeeping business.
