Authorities are considering whether to charge an Indiana homeowner who they say shot and killed a woman working as a house cleaner after she mistakenly went to the wrong address.

Police officers found 32-year-old Maria Florinda Rios Perez dead just before 7 a.m. Wednesday on the front porch of the home in Whitestown, an Indianapolis suburb of about 10,000 people, according to a police news release. She was part of a cleaning crew that had gone to the wrong address, the release said.

Rios Perez’s husband, Mauricio Velazquez, told WRTV in Indianapolis that he and his wife had been cleaning homes for seven months. Velazquez said he was standing with her at the home’s front door on Wednesday morning but didn’t realize she had been shot until she fell into his arms, bleeding.

Nope. Coping with late capitalism/fascism and inhuman monsters who have shed their humanity dehumanizing everyone else to murder them/us.

Having seen it coming and shouting 'please don't! This will end in fascism!' For 25 years has not made it easier, or me more esteemed.

Being right sucks. I think next time I see shit coming I'm just gonna lie.
