A man in upstate New York has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old woman who mistakenly drove into his rural driveway. The incident occurred in the town of Hebron when the woman, identified as Kaylin Gillis, was riding in a caravan of vehicles looking for a party at another location.
The defendant, Kevin Monahan, was convicted of second-degree murder for firing a fatal shot that struck Gillis in the neck as she sat in the front passenger seat of an SUV. Monahan claimed the shooting was accidental and that he was trying to scare away what he believed were intruders near his property.
