WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A newly released affidavit says two homicide suspects apparently were at the wrong house when a 66-year-old Wichita woman was killed.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Jacob Strouse and Brittany McDay are charged in the September death of Jacquelyn Harvey. The affidavit says Strouse’s girlfriend told police that Strouse went to collect money at a house on the same block as Harvey’s. She says he shot Harvey before realizing he was at the wrong house.

The affidavit says a friend of McDay’s told police that McDay was standing outside the house when she heard a shot.

Harvey’s son found her dead the next morning, when he was dropping off his son so Harvey could take the boy to school.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Strouse or McDay had attorneys.
