Wife Of DoorDash Shooter Pleads Guilty

On Monday, Orange County District Attorney David M. Hoovler announced that Reilly's wife, Selina Nelson-Reilly, pleaded guilty to tampering with physical evidence.

Nelson-Reilly is admitting to deleting video evidence tied to the shooting and its aftermath. Officials say she deleted seventeen videos from a smart doorbell camera installed at her house that captured footage of her husband shooting the delivery driver.

As terms of her plea agreement, she will be placed on interim probation supervision and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.

If she violated probation, or doesn't complete her community service, she faces 1 to 4 years in prison.

"We will not be thwarted from our pursuit of justice by those who seek to undermine the efforts of law enforcement to uncover the truth," Hoovler stated. "To the contrary, we will relentlessly follow the evidence and the law to hold accountable those responsible for violent crime. I am glad that these efforts resulted in justice being served on behalf of the victim of these crimes.”
