NY man accused of shooting Kaylin Gillis in driveway blamed 'hunters,' filings show
2023-05-28
[NYPOST] The man charged with murder in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis after the car she was in accidentally drove up his upstate New York driveway initially tried to blame the shooting on hunters, according to court filings.

Kevin Monahan, 65, insisted to state police and Washington County sheriff’s deputies that he had "in bed since 8:30 p.m." — well before the April 15 slaying happened — and that "there are hunters shooting up here all the time," the Albany Times Union reported, citing county court records.

Monahan made the remarks as authorities tried coaxing him out of his home following the shooting, according to the filings.

Instead, he told police to "leave me alone," and to "get out of my yard so I can go back to bed."

The documents surfaced after Monahan was arraigned Wednesday on charges of second-degree murder, reckless endangerment and tampering with evidence.

Monahan allegedly fired twice from a 12-gauge shotgun at an SUV that Gillis, of Schuylerville, and three of her friends were traveling in.
