PASCO, Wash. -- We don't yet know if a Pasco homeowner will face criminal charges for killing a man last week.
Stephan Aceves was shot multiple times while trying to get into a home on Savary Drive.
Now prosecutors say they have not decided whether this is considered justified.
The prosecutor and a representative from Pasco PD held a news conference Tuesday but made no announcement on whether there would be charges.
The shooting on Savary Drive appears to be a case of mistaken identity. In this case, it was the house that led to confusion.
The family of Stephan Aceves believes the 28-year old did not realize he was trying to get into a stranger's home at 2:30 a.m. last Friday.
Rudy Ontiveros heard someone pounding on his door and armed himself. A woman inside the home called 911 to report an intruder. Police won't say how Aceves got inside the home, whether the door was locked or unlocked or whether he forced his way in. They do believe some words were exchanged between Ontiveros and Aceves.
Then shots were fired.
