A 22-year-old man was shot and killed after he mistakenly pulled into a homeowner’s driveway while looking for a friend’s house.

Rodrigo Abad Diaz and his friends were considered home invaders to Phillip Walker Sailors, 69, when they pulled into the driveway, so he started firing at their vehicle on Saturday night.

The Vietnam veteran is now being held on a malice murder charge after fatally striking Diaz with a shot to the head. 

According to Sailors’ attorney, the shooting has left the alleged aggressor “distraught,” but witnesses in the vehicle said that Sailors didn’t ask any questions before he opened fire on the car.

‘”Shut up,” that’s the only thing that came out of his mouth,’ Yeson Jimezez who was in that vehicle with his brother and a female passenger told WSBRadio.com.

The teens say it was their GPS that mistakenly led them to the house on Hillcrest Road.

According to reports, Sailors used a .22 caliber pistol, shooting at the victim while he was driving his car away.

Sailors’ attorney, Michael Puglise, told theAtlanta Journal-Constitution that the 69-year-old was home with his wife that night and assumed the young man pulled up for a home invasion.

“He is very distraught over the loss of life from the defense of his home,” Puglise said of Sailors’ handling of the Diaz death.
