New York man given 25 years for killing student mistakenly on his property

Kevin Monahan fired a gun at a group of cars that had pulled into his driveway to turn around, killing Kaylin Gillis

A man who fatally shot a 20-year-old woman after the SUV she was riding in mistakenly was driven into his rural driveway in upstate New York was sentenced Friday to 25 years to life in prison.

Kevin Monahan, 66, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death last April of Kaylin Gillis. She was riding in a group of two cars and a motorcycle that was trying to leave the property after the drivers became lost on their way to a party and pulled into Monahan’s long, winding driveway in the dark.
