Kevin Monahan, 65, shot 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis after a car she was riding in with friends made a wrong turn on his property

A man was convicted of second-degree murder Tuesday for fatally shooting a young woman when the SUV she was riding in mistakenly drove up his rural driveway in upstate New York.

A jury found Kevin Monahan, 66, guilty of second-degree murder for shooting 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis on a Saturday night last April after she and her friends pulled into his long, curving driveway near the Vermont border while they were trying to find another house.

The group’s caravan of two cars and a motorcycle began leaving once they realized their mistake. Authorities said Monahan came out to his porch and fired twice from his shotgun, with the second shot hitting Gillis in the neck as she sat in the front passenger seat of an SUV driven by her boyfriend.

    WTF is going on in your life that cars coming up your driveway would scare you? Really?!

    You think that some death squad has your number and they sent the whole gang?

      Some areas simply have no-good groups of people like neonazis that will go into houses and try to take them over

        I would also like to know what areas. I’ve lived in a lot of places, and never once heard of neonazis just up and taking someone’s home, certainly not anywhere like the US. Internet searches turn up nothing. Cite your sources, please.
