Murder by Mistake	comment	To err is human, and for the most part, murderers are as human as the next guy. Sometimes mistakes are made and the victim of a murder turns out to not be the intended target of the one who committed it. In Cop Shows, especially Police Procedurals, this can cause investigators to pursue Red Herrings and make other errors as the mistaken victim is initially assumed to be the killer's intended target. For criminals, hitting the wrong guy means that their intended victim might be alerted that someone's after them. Even worse, the wrong guy might be a person they actually care about. At the very least, they've attracted unwanted attention while failing to accomplish their objective. Occasionally inverted when the killer kills the right person, but purposefully makes things look like Murder by Mistake; if the murderer intentionally kills several people along with their intended target as a smokescreen, it's Serial Killings, Specific Target. Especially brazen killers make themselves appear to be the intended target, thus taking themselves off the police's radar entirely. In rare occasions, this trope crosses with The Scapegoat and Fall Guy, where the person who was killed was somebody deliberately set up by the intended target in order in order to escape the hit. In Real Life, this is common enough for the rule of "transferred intent": intent follows the bullet, so that the intent to kill someone makes your killing anyone intentional. The Other Wiki has more here. Compare to Accidental Murder, where the dead people are accidental collateral damage rather than dead by misaimed intention, Taking the Bullet, where the victims deliberately take the hit meant for someone else, and I Didn't Mean to Kill Him, where the killer did mean to do something to the victim. Also see the milder Misplaced Retribution. If the mistake that led to the wrong victim being killed was related to improper gun safety (such as not verifying the identity of the target before opening fire), this trope crosses over with I Just Shot Marvin in the Face. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.

Murder by Mistake / int_135eac46	comment	Clue: Happens a couple of times (though given the rules of the series, the victim is never actually dead). In book 6, chapter 8, there's a chain of bathrobe thefts (kicked off by one guest stealing a bathrobe because he forgot to bring his own). One of the guests keeps a diary in their bathrobe; when the robe and diary are stolen, the thief tries to blackmail the diary keeper, who instead tries to kill the thief. However, by the time they make the attempt, Miss Scarlet has stolen the bathrobe from its original thief, and the diary-writer accidentally attacks her, mistaking her for the first thief. Luckily, Scarlet survives the attack (with the side-effect of curing her insomnia). In book 16, chapter 9, the furnace is broken and all the guests are wearing heavy quilts that Mr. Boddy gave them to keep warm. After everyone winds up switching quilts (having lost their originals during a brief blackout), one of the guests attempts to kill Colonel Mustard and accidentally shoots another guest who was wearing the colonel's original quilt. Fortunately, all six quilts are slash-proof, crash-proof and bulletproof, protecting the accidental victim from serious harm.

One of the murdered children is the authentic target; the sniper shot the others intentionally to muddy the waters and make it seem like a random crime. In another episode, a man running a prostitution ring tried to kill a woman because she threatened to expose him. Unfortunately, the woman in question was an identical twin, and the night he went to her apartment to kill her, her twin had also come by looking for her, and he mistook her for his target and killed her, completely unaware of his mistake until several years later.

Murder by Mistake / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: This is what created the Age of Apocalypse alternate reality. The time-traveling mutant Legion attempted to assassinate Magneto, but missed and killed Charles Xavier instead. This caused Apocalypse to awaken some twenty years earlier than he did in the main Marvel universe. With neither the X-Men nor any of the other Marvel superhero teams (Fantastic Four, the Avengers, etc.) having been formed yet at that time, there was no one equipped to oppose Apocalypse and prevent him from taking over the world. Jubilation Lee's parents were mistakenly killed by hitmen who had actually been sent after their neighbors, who were also named Lee. This was later retconned as merely being Jubilee's inference in an issue of Wolverine. A later issue of Generation X reveals that the murder of her parents was quite deliberate, with the grandfather of one of Jubilee's current classmates being responsible.

In Mossflower, Tsarmina fires an arrow at her brother as he, Ferdy, Coggs and Mask escape from Kotir. Mask ran behind them and coincidentally ended up shielding Gingivere and Coggs from the arrow. Happens twice in Salamandastron, with both cases regarding Ferahgo. First, Lord Urthstripe fires an arrow at him, only for Goffa to step in front of him and coincidentally get hit. Later, Forgrin and Raptail kill Sickear because they thought he was a wounded Ferahgo lying on a rock. And then Ferahgo shows up behind both of them... Martin the Warrior also has two cases. First, Badrang conspires with Gurrad to poison Cap'n Clogg, whilst Clogg simultaneously conspires with Oilbeak to have Badrang knifed. So naturally, Oilbeak accidentally chucks his knife at Gurrad's throat, and then proceeds to steal the tainted drink from Gurrad's body, which he later drinks from. Later, Badrang's archers fire arrows at a small group of animals they thought were Fur and Freedom Fighters. They turn out to be Hisk and his four trackers. During Swartt Sixclaw's failed attempt at taking over Redwall in Outcast of Redwall, a rat captain named Scraw gets shot full of arrows after Swartt's archers mistook him for woodlanders hiding in the bushes. In Loamhedge, Lonna picks up Raga Bol's body and uses it as a shield. The Searats chuck a few spears at Lonna, but hit Bol instead.

Murder by Mistake / int_24e41891	comment	Dexter: Dexter, a serial killer who mainly targets other murderers, on a few occasions kills the wrong person entirely while going after someone else. Season 3 is kicked off by a "wrong place at the wrong time" situation when Dexter tracks down a drug dealer who is responsible for at least one murder. He breaks into the dealer's home late that night but interrupts an altercation with a third person whom Dexter accidentally ends up killing instead (he finds and kills the dealer later). This guy turns out to be Oscar Prado, the younger brother of Assistant D.A. Miguel Prado, who then takes an interest in Dexter. In season 4, the cops are investigating several disappearances and suspect that they were murdered by a scumbag photographer who physically abuses his models. Dexter seems to find evidence of the guy's culpability and kills him, but afterwards finds out that he misidentified his target when his colleagues arrest the photographer's assistant as the real culprit.

A man was murdered on the morning of Sept 11, 2001 and Owen was close to catching the killer when the first plane hit the Twin Towers. In the chaos following 9/11, evidence was lost and the trail went cold. One possible theory of the crime was that the victim was killed by mistake. He went to the wrong address and a similar looking drug dealer was known to operate in the area. This is proven correct when the drug dealer, dying of a terminal illness, finally admits that to knowing who performed the botched hit. The hit man was so distraught by killing the wrong man that he kept a newspaper clipping with a photo of the victim in his wallet. When confronted with this, he quickly confesses.

In Feet of Clay, a plan is put in motion to slowly poison Lord Vetinari with arsenic-dipped candles. Because the palace servants are allowed to take home various odds and ends (leftover food, old clothes, what have you), a maid's elderly mother and infant son end up being exposed as well, and die. (When Carrot confronts the man responsible for supplying the poison, he's only concerned by the possibility that the victims may have been "important" people; Carrot remarks that the guy's really lucky Vimes didn't find him first.)

And Be a Villain sees a horse racing tipster poisoned on a radio program. For about half the book, the investigation delves into which of the other guests and crew of the program had any connection with the victim, but once it's revealed that the poisoned glass contained iced coffee which only the host drank... you can guess the reaction of the investigators. But it's subverted in the end, as the tipster was the intended victim, and the program's host was the murderer. In Please Pass the Guilt, a person is killed by a trap bomb, but it isn't clear for whom the bomb was intended, so a good portion of the mystery is devoted to determining if this trope is in effect. It is — the trope is played straight.

Season 6's "The Soul of Winter" had the Rangers dealing with a neo-Nazi organization that killed a kid outside a church. This was a case of Mistaken Identity, as they meant to kill the pastor's son due to said pastor having known its leader when they were stationed at Fort Hood, and then sent him to prison a long time ago for almost murdering him, but succeeded in murdering a close friend. The reason behind the Nazi group's attempt on his son's life was for the purpose of getting the pastor to resign. Both the murdered kid and the pastor's son were late for the service due to them delivering food baskets to needy families.

He was trying to kill his friend Marion Hamilton to inherit a photograph and frame that would sell for a pretty penny after he had gotten into some bad investments via his stockbroker. He had been out of town for a month, so he didn't realize that Marion had already died and Stacey (who somewhat resembled Marion) had moved into her apartment. He's not horribly broken up about it, considering that he thought Stacey was a bitch. This is also revealed to be what happened with Bunny Cooper's death in Death of a Trophy Wife.

Although he did get his intended target, he invokes this trope deliberately to deflect suspicion. He poisons his own drink, then 'accidentally' switches the glasses, so that everyone assumes that he was the intended victim and the other character simply got in the way.

In "Driven", the Murder by Remote Control Vehicle hits the wrong target by accident. The murderer actually gave the victim the morning off, intending for his actual target, a scientist with a rather abrasive personality and who also owned 50% of the company, to get locked in the car and choke to death on the exhaust fumes when he tried to open the seatbelt at the end of the scheduled test drive.

Murder by Mistake / int_8d81f086	comment	Monk: Subversion: Monk thinks, at least until the end of the second season, that Trudy was killed because of this, believing himself to be the intended target. In "Mr. Monk Goes to Jail", it's revealed that Trudy was always the intended target and not him. Subverted in "Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa", Captain Stottlemeyer receives a gift (apparently from a body shop) in the form of a bottle of port, which happens to have been poisoned. At the police station's Christmas party, he is to give a Secret Santa present to fellow detective Terry Chasen, but when he's unable to find the hair trimmer he planned to give, police officer Alice Westergren suggests he give Terry the bottle of port (especially since Stottlemeyer hates port). Terry drinks it, the poison hits him, and he dies. At first, it looks like someone tried to kill Stottlemeyer as retaliation, possibly an ex-con named Frank Prager, whose brother Michael was killed by Stottlemeyer during a bank robbery. However, Monk then proves that Alice is Terry's ex-girlfriend, and she killed him because he decided to return to his wife. In "Mr. Monk Takes a Punch", an attempt on Ray Regis's life that begins the episode goes like this: the bomber plants his device in a heavy punching bag, assuming that Regis will be the first to take a swing at it. However, when Regis does arrive, the only contact he makes with the bag is tapping the top of it. An innocent washed-up drunken ex-boxer named Eddie, however, ends up accidentally killing himself by taking a demonstrative swing at the bomb-rigged bag. "Mr. Monk and the Rapper" plays it straight. A rapper named Extra Large is killed by a bomb under his limousine, and his rival rapper, Murderuss, is the prime suspect. Turns out the killer was one of the executives of Extra Large's record label, who had planned to kill his business partner, but set the bomb's timer off an hour because he forgot about Daylight Saving Time taking effect that morning.

After Nagito tells Teruteru that he's planning to commit a murder, Teruteru resolves to stop Nagito himself. Nagito's knife is covered in luminous paint, and when Teruteru - who is in the crawlspace under the kitchen - sees the knife moving in the darkness, he assumes Nagito is up there and stabs upwards through the gaps in the floor with a skewer. However, Teruteru does not realise — until it's too late — that the Imposter had seen the knife and taken it from Nagito. In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Kaede Akamatsu attempts to end the killing game right away by murdering the mastermind with a complicated death trap, which ultimately results in the death of Rantaro Amami instead, who is clearly not the mastermind since the killing game is still going on. In the final chapter, it's discovered that Kaede's death trap actually failed, and the actual mastermind killed Rantaro by simply sneaking up behind him and clobbering him over the head and then arranging the scene to make it look like the death trap worked.

After Nagito tells Teruteru that he's planning to commit a murder, Teruteru resolves to stop Nagito himself. Nagito's knife is covered in luminous paint, and when Teruteru - who is in the crawlspace under the kitchen - sees the knife moving in the darkness, he assumes Nagito is up there and stabs upwards through the gaps in the floor with a skewer. However, Teruteru does not realise — until it's too late — that the Imposter had seen the knife and taken it from Nagito.

Murder by Mistake / int_fd32a983	comment	A variant occurs in another Marple novel, They Do It With Mirrors. It's evident that Christian Gulbrandsen was killed intentionally, but the murder set it up to make it look like Gulbrandsen's murder was only incidental to his real target. Actually, Gulbrandsen was the primary target and all other actions were just to cover it up. Differs from the above examples in that the murderer is someone other than the apparent intended target.

Murder by Mistake / int_fdbace96	comment	Gravity Falls has this in a single episode, when Mabel and Dipper set out to discover who "murdered" a life-size dummy of their great-uncle Stan (the newest addition to a collection of wax dummies). It's revealed that the dummies are alive and they decapitated the replica of Stan because they weren't the main attraction at the mystery shack anymore. It gets worse when they confirm that their intended target was the real Stan and not the replica.
