Wife of Man Who Shot DoorDash Driver Admits to Deleting Video Evidence
Selina Nelson-Reilly, the wife of a New York man convicted of shooting a lost DoorDash driver, has pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence. She admitted to deleting 17 videos from her home’s doorbell camera shortly after state police investigators interviewed her regarding the May 2025 incident. Her husband, John Reilly III, was recently found guilty of assault for firing at the driver, Alpha Barry, who was attempting to leave their property in Chester, New York. While Reilly claimed self-defense, footage showed him shooting at Barry’s car as the driver made a three-point turn. Barry suffered severe injuries requiring emergency surgery. Under the plea agreement, Nelson-Reilly faces one year of probation and 200 hours of community service. If she complies, her felony charge will be vacated in favor of a misdemeanor conviction; failure to comply could result in up to four years in prison. Reilly awaits sentencing in May and faces up to 25 years in prison, with his attorney planning an appeal. This case highlights legal consequences for obstructing justice in violent crime investigations.
