San Antonio Woman Shoots, Kills Her Ex With a Shotgun When He Tried to Force His Way Into Her Home - The Truth About Guns

Twenty-four-year-old Javier Manuel Plata was apparently one of those exes who couldn’t let go. On Wednesday he tried to force his way into the home of his 33-year-old ex. According to police, Plata had been texting the woman all day Wednesday and he was waiting for her when she got home. She...

Unclear if the ex had been living there. Says she changed the locks. In NY and most states if someone moves in with you and establishes residency (in as little as two weeks in some jurisdictions; others may be a month) then you can’t just resort to self-help and kick or lock them out. You have to go to court and do a holdover eviction. If (and only if) you’re in actual danger then you have to get a restraining order, and leave or call cops until you do.

If the ex was living there then he would have had the right to gain entry to his home, whether or not he was paying rent or on a lease or deed, up until he is legally evicted or otherwise ordered out. It would be a bad shoot in that case unless he had previously vacated entirely (not just went away for a while) or was seriously physically threatening her. You can shoot burglars but unwelcome live in boyfriends are not burglars.

You have a link for this type of information?

I am curious of how these particular laws are written.

I have never heard of most of what you typed.

Her good marksmanship means there is only one side to the "how threatening was he ?" story.

This depends very heavily on state and sometimes even local law, just as self-defense laws depend on the state. I’d recommend starting by googling around, you’ll find plenty of stuff. Most of it wrong. It’s important to get it right before you pull a trigger and only do that when your life is in danger.

I guess he won't try that again.
