TL;DR

Kevin Monahan, 66, was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for fatally shooting 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis, who ended up in his driveway after a wrong turn. The judge added up to 4 more years for tampering with the murder weapon and scolded Monahan for showing no remorse. Monahan maintained the fatal shot was an accident, but prosecutors argued that he was motivated by irrational rage toward trespassers. Gillis' father described her as someone who loved animals and had dreams of becoming a marine biologist or a veterinarian. Her boyfriend, Blake Walsh, expressed his inability to forgive Monahan for the tragic incident.
