On March 17, 2013, 16-year-old Caleb Gordley was shot and killed in Sterling, Virginia after mistakenly entering the wrong, architecturally identical house two doors from his own. Caleb, who had been drinking with friends that night and was dropped off near his home, crawled through an unlocked rear window and walked toward the bedrooms. Homeowner Donald West Wilder II was awakened by his burglar alarm about 2:30 a.m., discovered an unfamiliar teenager inside, called out, and then fired a single shot that struck Caleb in the back of the shoulder. The wound proved fatal; Caleb was a junior at Park View High School and an avid athlete.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident and the Loudoun Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office announced in September 2013 that no charges would be filed after reviewing 911 recordings, witness statements, and forensic reports. Caleb’s parents initially said they forgave Wilder and called the death an accident, but months later, after seeing the police report, they said they considered their son’s death a murder. No arrests were made.

Does anyone have additional information about Caleb’s movements that night or about the neighborhood layout that led to the mistaken entry?
