DoorDash driver shot by man at the wrong address

The wife of a New York man accused of shooting a DoorDash driver who mistakenly arrived at their home now faces charges of her own.

Earlier this year, John Reilly, 48, was charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon after police said he fired at a 24-year-old DoorDash driver on May 2. According to Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler, the driver had arrived at the Reillys’ home in Chester after his phone died and, not realizing he was at the wrong address, knocked on the front door with a food delivery.

Reilly allegedly confronted the driver with a gun, told him to leave, and, when the driver tried to drive away, shot him in the back, causing serious injuries. The driver required emergency surgery to remove two feet of his small bowel. Prosecutors said the driver was in “complete panic mode” during the incident.

The following day, when police visited the Reillys’ home, Reilly’s wife, Selina Nelson-Reilly, reportedly denied knowing anything about the shooting. Hoovler said she allegedly deleted seventeen videos from a smart doorbell camera at the home after investigators left. When questioned again, she allegedly repeated her denial. She later sent a text to a friend claiming she had permanently deleted the videos.

Nelson-Reilly has been indicted on charges of hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence. Her charges are not bail-eligible, but she was released on her own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 5, 2026.

John Reilly faces charges including attempted murder, three counts of assault, and criminal possession of a firearm. He posted $250,000 bail after his arrest and is required to wear an ankle monitor.
