Dad mistakes daughter for intruder, shoots her to death
GREENVILLE, S.C. — A South Carolina man fatally shot his daughter after mistaking her for an intruder, authorities said.
The Greenville County Coroner’s office said 23-year-old Nadeja Pressley was trying to enter her Greenville residence just after 1 a.m. Sunday when she was killed.
Pressley’s father told investigators he fired through a door at what he believed was an intruder, who turned out to be his adult daughter.
Greenville County EMS responded to the shooting, and Pressley was pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy is planned for Monday as authorities continue to investigate.
