Maria Florinda Rios Perez Killed at Whitestown Home Owned by Curt Douglas Andersen

Tragedy struck in Whitestown when Maria Florinda Rios Perez was fatally shot at a home located at 4283 Maize Lane, a property owned by Curt Douglas Andersen.

According to Whitestown Police, Perez, who worked for a cleaning crew, had mistakenly arrived at the wrong address. Officers responded to a call reporting a possible home invasion in the Heritage subdivision. Upon arriving, they found Perez deceased on the front porch of the home.

Authorities later confirmed that Perez had never entered the residence. A nearby witness, Velazquez, observed the horrifying events unfold just steps away.

 

“Yo pido justicia porque la persona que hizo eso no creo que no está bien de la cabeza,” Velazquez said. (“I ask for justice because the person that did this is not right in the head.”)

Perez leaves behind four children, ranging in age from 17 years to just 11 months old.

“No es posible que él está libre mientras que los niños están sufriendo con su dolor por su madre,” Velazquez added. (“It’s not possible that he is free while the children are suffering from their mother’s loss.”)

Perez’s cousin, Wilmer Alvarez, expressed frustration and heartbreak over the violent act. “Si él estaba en amenaza por lo menos si tanto hubiera sido el coraje dispararle en una pierna, inmovilizarla,” he said. (“If he felt threatened, at the very least, if he was that angry, he could have shot her in the leg to immobilize her.”)

The family is demanding justice to honor Perez and to find some measure of peace after the devastating loss.

“Lo único que la familia exige es justicia para ese cobarde, porque ese cobarde es una de las peores personas que puede haber aquí,” Alvarez said. (“The only thing the family is demanding is justice for that coward, because that coward is one of the worst kinds of people there can be here.”
