CHANTILLY, Va. — "It was a horrible, horrible mistake," said Joanne Espinosa, the wife of "Gary" Gerardo Alberto Espinosa, 46, of Chantilly, who was shot and killed by a homeowner in Woodbine, Maryland early Monday morning.
"Gary is the best husband, father. Wonderful person. Not violent," she said. She believes her husband went to the wrong house and thought it was their friend's house he was trying to enter.
Charles Dorsey, 56, shot and killed Espinosa as he was trying to get inside Dorsey's home, according to Howard County Police. No charges have been filed at this time, but the incident is under investigation.
Joanne Espinosa said she and her husband had gone to visit good friends who had recently moved to Maryland and were having a pool party. They planned to spend the night. She said she went to bed around midnight while her husband stayed up with two of the men.
The shooting happened around 1:00 a.m. Joanne said she did not know her husband had been killed until 7:30 when she woke up. She said she went outside and found police officers who showed her a picture of her husband taken from a doorbell video and asked if that was her husband.

THEY ALWAYS ARE-- HALF UN DRESSED OUT RUNNING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT 1 AM
Sorry Joanne,
You bang and scream profanity and threats at someone's door at 1:00 in the morning, you might end up dead.
Chantilly is one of many SHITHOLES like Baltimore in Virginia.
Friends don't let friends wander around a strange neighborhood drunk.

Momma always said nothing good happens after midnight--especially when alcohol is involved...
Surrrrrreeeeeeeeee. Righttttttttttt!!! Oh, we believe you. He was a nice upstanding guy who just got a little mixed up on whose house he was going into. Bet he won't do that again.
She wants a settlement.I guarantee it.
Northwest Woodsman: Setting the stage for winning the ghetto lottery? Waiting for the entrance of a sleazy lawyer to take the case on a contingency basis I’m sure. We have not heard the last of this one. Good that it was not a cop that shot him or taxpayers would be on the hook for this one already.
