A Schaumburg man has been charged with felony involuntary manslaughter after shooting and killing a house guest he mistook for an intruder on Christmas morning.
Schaumburg Police Department officials said Daniel Garcia, 52, was awakened about 7 a.m. Wednesday and shot a person he thought was an intruder at his home in the 1800 block of Carlisle Court.
Kellie Barnett, 50, of New Lenox, had been staying the night with relatives in the home when Garcia shot her in the torso, Schaumburg police said. Detectives recovered a 9 mm Glock semiautomatic handgun from the home.
Barnett was taken to Saint Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, where she was pronounced dead.
Garcia is being detained in the Cook County jail.
