A Guatemalan woman was fatally shot in Indiana after a cleaning crew mistakenly went to her home; the homeowner faces manslaughter charges.
María Florinda Ríos Pérez, a 32-year-old Guatemalan mother of four, was fatally shot on November 5 in Whitestown, Indiana, after her house cleaning crew mistakenly went to the wrong home.
As she attempted to unlock the door with a key from their employer, homeowner Curt Andersen fired a warning shot, striking her.
Andersen faces voluntary manslaughter charges, has $25,000 bail, and must surrender his passport; his trial is set for March 30, 2026.
Ríos’ body was repatriated to Guatemala on November 23, where her family received it in Guatemala City and prepared for her funeral in her hometown of Cabrican, a predominantly Indigenous Mam community.
She had fled Guatemala two years earlier with two children, seeking safety and opportunity in the U.S. after being misled about family entry policies.
Her sister said Ríos was excited to celebrate her son’s first birthday just days before her death.
