The unsettling incident involving a DoorDash driver mistakenly arriving at the wrong address in New York has taken yet another twist, as new charges have been brought forward in connection with the case. The wife of John Reilly, who allegedly shot the driver, now faces accusations of her own.

John Reilly, aged 48, found himself in legal trouble earlier this year when he was charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. According to law enforcement, the events unfolded on the evening of May 2, when a 24-year-old DoorDash driver, due to a dead phone battery and resulting navigational error, ended up at the Reilly household in Chester, New York. District Attorney David Hoovler shared that the driver, whose identity remains undisclosed, approached the residence with a delivery, mistakenly assuming it was the correct address.

When the driver reached the doorstep, Reilly reportedly greeted him with a firearm, instructing him to leave the premises. As the driver attempted to comply and return to his vehicle, Reilly allegedly fired a shot, striking him and inflicting severe injuries. This act, according to News 12 Westchester’s coverage of Reilly’s arraignment in June, left the driver in a state of panic as he tried to flee. The victim required urgent surgery to remove a significant portion of his small intestine, as detailed by Hoovler.

In a subsequent development, Selina Nelson-Reilly, John Reilly’s wife, has been implicated in the aftermath of the shooting. The day after the incident, investigators arrived at the Reilly residence to gather information. DA Hoovler revealed in a recent statement that Nelson-Reilly allegedly feigned ignorance about the shooting when initially questioned. Furthermore, she is accused of deleting 17 videos from the home’s smart doorbell camera after the investigators left, apparently in an attempt to obscure evidence. Just as she was purportedly erasing these recordings, the investigators returned for further inquiry, and once again, she allegedly denied any knowledge of the previous night’s events.

When police came to the Reillys’ home to question them the next day, Reilly’s wife, Selina Nelson-Reilly, “denied knowing anything that happened,” Hoovler said in a new post. According to the DA, Nelson-Reilly allegedly “deleted seventeen (17) videos from a smart doorbell camera installed at the house” after investigators left her home. Hoovler added that while she was “in the process of deleting the videos,” investigators came back to ask her something else. Once again, she allegedly told them that she did not know anything about someone coming to her home the previous night.

Hoovler stated in his post that Nelson-Reilly then “sent a text message to a friend saying she permanently deleted the videos.”

Nelson-Reilly was indicted on charges of hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence. The charges were not bail-eligible, and Nelson-Reilly was released on her own recognizance. She is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 5, 2026.

Reilly was charged with attempted murder, three counts of assault, and criminal possession of a firearm. He posted $250,000 bail after he was arrested and was ordered to wear an ankle monitor.
