HEBRON, N.Y. — A woman looking for a friend’s house in upstate New York was shot to death after the car she was riding in mistakenly went to the wrong address and was met with gunfire in the driveway, authorities said Monday.
Kaylin Gillis, 20, was travelling through the rural town of Hebron with three other people Saturday night when the group made a wrong turn onto the property.
They were trying to turn the car around when the homeowner, Kevin Monahan, 65, came out onto his porch and fired two shots, according to Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy.
One round hit Gillis.
The group drove to the neighboring town of Salem, northeast of Albany near the Vermont state line, and called 911, said Murphy, who noted the shooting took place in an area with limited cell phone service. Emergency crews arrived and performed CPR on Gillis but couldn’t save her.
When officers arrived at Monahan’s house to investigate the shooting, he refused to come out, Murphy said. Authorities spoke with him through a 911 dispatcher and in person for about an hour before he was taken into custody, according to the sheriff.
Monahan was booked into the Warren County jail on a charge of second-degree murder. It wasn’t clear whether he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Murphy said at a news conference Monday that Gillis, who lived in Schuylerville, “was an innocent young girl who was out with friends looking for another friend’s house,” according to the Times Union of Albany. He said there was “no reason for Mr. Monahan to feel threatened.”
The shooting happened days after 16-year-old Ralph Yarl was shot and wounded in Kansas City, Missouri, after going to the wrong house to pick up his younger brothers.

Shooting anyone like that is wrong. It does show the paranoia that is out there though, especially in the cities in the US.
Agree with the first part. As to the second, I'd point out this shooting was in a rural area.
The five states with the highest murder rates are Louisiana, Alaska, South Carolina, Missouri, and Alabama. None of them are particularly highly urbanized.
Yep. Part of it's the paranoia. The other part is the availability and widespread ownership of guns.
Yes, it would be wonderful if the gun was never invented and we could go back to the old fashioned way of murder.
Did the gun put the idea into his head?
My power saw doesn't tell me to impulsively cut wood or rob a stores or pack it with me when cruising with my homme boys because its cordless?
The other part is knowing the police will not be able to show up in a timely manner. Even here, our cop shop is two towns down the road. And it get worse, when one gets to remote areas.
In todays world everyone is an unhinged meth rat until its shown they arent. Is it the oldman's fault meth rats are abundant in every damn neighbourhood regardless of socio-economic status. Is it the young lad's fault he was mistaken for a meth rat? No. Is it the guns fault? No.
How can incidents like this be mitigated? Ban legal guns or work harder at the eradication of meth? Did gun crime increase or decrease when meth hit the streets?
Ive never been the victim of gun crime but am (almost daily) a victim of meth users.
It doesn't matter where you live. The police will never show up in time. As the gunners say "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away."
Still don't justify shooting at somebody who's outside your house when you're inside.
If she had a gun would "Tyler" be alive?
Tyler is one lucky son of a bitch.

Two cheerleaders from Elgin, about 40 kilometres east of Austin, Texas, were shot at early Tuesday morning after one of them got into the wrong car in a parking lot following practice, according to ABC News.
Heather Roth told Instagram Live that she and three other cheerleaders from the Woodlands Elite Cheer Co. were together just after midnight when she got out of her friend’s car and into what she thought was her car.
Instead, there was a man in the passenger seat so she got back into her friend’s car.
Roth said when the man approached their car, Roth rolled the window down to say she was sorry and the man started shooting.
One victim was treated and released at scene Tuesday morning but the other was helicoptered to a hospital in critical condition, according to Elgin police.
The seriously injured cheerleader, Payton Washington, has been accepted to Baylor University’s acrobatics ad tumbling team, and the coach, Fee Mulkey, released a statement.
“Payton is a strong young lady; if you know her, you know that about her. I have no doubt she’s going to get through this. She’s an amazing athlete but a better human, and that’s why she’s a part of our Baylor family,” said Mulkey in part before going to visit her in hospital.
Court documents said Pedro Tello Rodriguez Jr., 25, has been charged with deadly conduct after allegedly fleeing the shooting scene and being arrested at home.
