A 65-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder after he allegedly shot and killed a 20-year-old Saratoga County woman Saturday evening after the car she was in mistakenly drove up the man’s driveway.
Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy said Monday that Kaylin A. Gillis was in a car with three other people Saturday night looking for a friend’s house. The rural section of Washington County where the shooting took place is dark at night and many of the properties are only accessible by unpaved driveways.
Murphy said the group mistakenly drove up to a house on Patterson Hill Road, 19 miles northeast of Gillis' residence in Schuylerville. As they attempted to turn the car around, the sheriff said, Kevin D. Monahan came out on his porch and fired two shots, one of which hit Gillis while she was seated in the car. No one from the group had left the car or tried to enter Monahan's house before he came out and opened fire, Murphy said.
With Gillis wounded, the group drove to Cemetery Road in the neighboring town of Salem, six miles south of Monahan’s residence, at which time the shooting was reported to 911. Murphy did not say if the group was trying to get to a specific location, but said that the area has little cellular service. Emergency crews arrived and started CPR on Gillis.
