No charges in killing of Va. intruder who thought ‘friends were pranking him’

A Howard County, Maryland, homeowner will not face charges for fatally shooting a man who prosecutors said probably went to the wrong house and thought his friends were playing a prank on him by intentionally locking him out.

Howard County State’s Attorney Rich Gibson said he will not press charges against Charles Dorsey, 56, who shot and killed 46-year-old Gerardo Espinoza on July 21.

Espinoza, who was visiting from Chantilly, Virginia, was at a pool party at his friend’s house and had been drinking when he knocked on Dorsey’s door at 1 a.m.

Prosecutors said that Espinoza got lost and thought that Dorsey’s house was his friend’s.
