GREENVILLE, S.C. — A 23-year-old woman has been killed trying to enter her own home after she was mistaken for an intruder and shot by her father, the Associated Press reports.
The Greenville County Coroner's Office says Nadeja Pressley was shot as she tried to enter her residence in Greenville, just after 1 a.m. Sunday.
Police say that a preliminary investigation shows Pressley's father fired through a door at what he believed was an intruder, but was actually his adult daughter.
Pressley was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation is ongoing and an autopsy is planned for Monday.
CBS affiliate WSPA reports the father was later arrested on drug charges. Jermaine Pressley was charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin and one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
He has not been charged in his daughter's death as the investigation is ongoing at this time.
