Kevin Monahan, the homeowner accused of fatally shooting a 20-year-old woman when an SUV she was in turned into the wrong driveway, was described in court as a man with a reputation for being "hot-tempered." Prosecutors argued he was a flight risk and asked the judge to impose bail between $250,000 cash and $1 million partly secured bond. However, the judge ordered that Monahan be remanded without bail due to his alleged use of a firearm and the fact that Kaylin Gillis was killed. Monahan faces sentences, if convicted, of a minimum of 15 years to life and a maximum of 25 years to life in prison.
