NY Woman Shot and Killed by Homeowner After Wrong Turn

A 20-year-old woman lost her life when a homeowner in upstate New York shot her after the car she was in turned into the wrong driveway. Kaylin Gillis and three other people were trying to find a friend's house in Hebron when the group mistakenly entered Kevin Monahan's property. They were attempting to turn the car around when Monahan fired two shots, one of them hitting Gillis. The group had to drive to Salem, to get cell phone coverage and call 911. However, paramedics were unable to save her. When officers arrived at Monahan's house, he refused to come out, and a 911 dispatcher spoke to him before he was finally taken into custody. Monahan has been booked into the Warren County jail on a charge of second-degree murder. Gillis was an "innocent young girl who was out with friends looking for another friend's house," according to Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy. Murphy stated that there was "no reason for Monahan to feel threatened." The sad incident occurred only two days after a 16-year-old was shot and wounded after going to the wrong house to pick up his younger brothers.
