The scenario described does not align with the verified cases found in the search results. The available records show in mistaken identity situations, not the reverse. For example:
1. , a Black 16-year-old, was shot through a door by 84-year-old white homeowner Andrew Lester in 2023 after accidentally approaching the wrong house. Lester was charged with assault and armed criminal action, with a judge ruling the case must go to trial.
2. , a white 20-year-old woman, was fatally shot in 2023 by Kevin Monahan after her car mistakenly entered his driveway. Monahan was convicted of murder.
3. A 16-year-old Ohio girl was shot by her father in 2021 after he mistook her for an intruder in their garage.
These incidents highlight tensions around self-defense laws and racial dynamics in use-of-force cases. The search results contain under these circumstances. Legal outcomes often depend on state self-defense statutes, evidence of intent, and prosecutorial discretion. Critics argue systemic biases exist in how these laws are applied, particularly in interracial cases.
