Georgia Man Shoots and Kills Driver Who Mistakenly Pulled Into His Driveway . . . [View all]
Allowed To Plead To A Single Misdemeanor With No Jail Time and A $500 Fine.
Diaz appears to have pulled into the wrong driveway while following a mistaken GPS in January 2013. He was trying to find the driveway of his friend across the street to go roller-skating. When Sailors saw a strange car, he came out shooting: firing once in the air and once through the windshield of the car. The second round struck Diaz in the head.
There was evidence that Diaz was pulling out of the driveway when Sailor killed him. The family did sue Sailors and there was a settlement. It is not clear if that settlement influenced the family’s position on sentencing.
