A 20-year-old woman was shot dead by an upstate New York homeowner Saturday night after the driver of the car she was riding in turned into the wrong driveway, authorities said.

Kaylin Gillis, from Saratoga County, was inside the vehicle with three pals when they made a wrong turn into a driveway while searching for a friend’s house in the town of Hebron, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said.

As the driver of the car was leaving, Kevin Monahan, the owner of the home the group accidentally pulled into, allegedly fired two shots from his patio at the vehicle, authorities said.

Gillis was struck by one of the bullets.

Monahan, 65, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy said during a Monday press conference.

“This is a very sad case of some young adults who were looking for a friend’s house and ended up at this man’s house who decided to come out with a firearm and discharge it,” Murphy said.

After the gunshots rang out around 10 p.m., Gillis and the friends drove away until they could call for help in a neighboring town, Murphy said, noting the area lacks reliable cellphone service.

Gillis was pronounced dead when first responders reached the car.

The homeowner and group of friends in the car did not interact, Murphy said.

The group of friends also never left the car, Murphy added.

It’s unclear how long the car was in the driveway, but Murphy noted it was only a “very short time.”

The area where the shooting took place is very rural with many dirt roads where it’s “easy to get lost,” Murphy said.

“There’s clearly no threat from anyone in the vehicle,” Murphy said. “There’s no reason for Mr. Monahan to feel threatened.”

When deputies arrived at the home, Monahan, a laborer, was allegedly uncooperative.

He refused to leave his home for over an hour, leading to “a bit of a situation” before he was taken into custody, Murphy said.

Monahan is being held in neighboring Warren County before he appears in a Washington County court at a later date.

Gillis’ father is a correction officer at the Washington County jail, the Times Union reported, citing public records.

The newspaper reported, citing a source, that investigators don’t believe mental illness or alcohol are factors in the shooting.

Murphy said he knew the victim’s family.

“I know for a fact that she comes from a good family, a very good family,” Murphy said. “And I know them personally and she was a young girl that was taken way too young.”

The New York shooting comes two days after Ralph Yarl, 16, was shot and wounded after he rang the doorbell of a Kansas City, Missouri home Thursday.
