A New York man has been sentenced to 17 years in prison after shooting a lost DoorDash driver outside his home in Chester, New York.
The Shooting
John Reilly, 49, fired multiple shots at 24-year-old Alpha Barry on May 2, 2025, after the delivery driver accidentally arrived at his home with a dead phone battery. One bullet pierced Barry’s vehicle and struck him in the lower back, causing severe injuries that required emergency surgery, including the removal of two feet of his small bowel.
Charges and Conviction
Reilly was found guilty of assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and several other felony charges. During sentencing, Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler said the case highlighted Reilly’s “depraved indifference to human life” and the dangers of unlawful firearm use.
Additional Charges
Reilly’s wife, Selina Nelson-Reilly, faces charges of hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence for allegedly deleting 17 Ring camera videos. Her next court date is scheduled for July 1.
