A New York man has been convicted of killing a woman in his driveway after a wrong turn.

Kevin Monahan, 66, was found guilty Tuesday of second-degree murder, reckless endangerment and tampering in the driveway shooting trial.

Kaylin Gillis, 20, was fatally shot on April 15 after the car she was traveling in, as well as another vehicle and a motorcycle, mistakenly pulled into Monahan’s driveway in Hebron as they were looking for a party.

At times in tears, he testified that the shot that killed Gillis was an accident, NBC affiliate WNYT of Albany reported.

Monahan testified at trial that he felt threatened by the appearance of the motorcycle and other vehicles, turned on his floodlights and grabbed a 20-gauge shotgun, according to the station.

He told jurors Friday he saw a motorcycle come all the way up the driveway, felt threatened by the presence of the two other vehicles, and thought he was being blocked in, the station reported.

“I’m nervous. Real nervous. Because cars have our driveway blocked and he’s waving them up into our intimate area,” Monahan said.

Monahan said he fired a warning shot. But he said the second shot happened by accident, after tripping over nails on the deck, WNYT reported.

“I just feel like my soul is dead. There’s just a hole in me. I took someone else’s life. It’s just horrible,” he testified, according to the station.
