HAMILTON TWP., N.J. (WPVI) -- Investigators say it appears a woman shot and killed her friend who she apparently mistook for a home intruder in her Mercer County, New Jersey home.

It happened around 11:23 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of Genesee Street and East Park Avenue.

Officers arrived to find 50-year-old Kelvin Watford of Willingboro, New Jersey lying at the bottom of the stairs with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to investigators, the woman, identified by sources as 51-year-old Pauline Lloyd, was on the phone with Watford.

He apparently told Lloyd he was near the George Washington Bridge returning from a trip but was actually letting himself in the house to surprise her.

Investigators believe Watford was attempting to surprise his friend.

As the woman continued to talk to Watford on the phone, she heard a dog barking and noises outside of her house.

The noises outside of her house continued and she retrieved her gun, police say, then heard someone inside of her house.

She opened her bedroom door, and saw the shadow of a person in the dark on the stairs, and fired one gunshot, police say.
