Jury selection is expected to begin later today in Orange County Court in the trial of a Chester town official accused of shooting a lost DoorDash delivery driver outside his home.

Prosecutors say Chester Highway Superintendent John J. Reilly III shot the 24-year-old driver outside his home on Valerie Drive on May 2, 2025, after the man pulled into the neighborhood while trying to complete a delivery.

Investigators say the driver had become lost after his phone battery died and had been going door to door asking for directions. Authorities say the driver spoke limited English.

According to prosecutors, Reilly ordered the driver to leave his property. As the driver tried to leave in his car, prosecutors say Reilly fired multiple shots, striking the victim once in the back.

The driver survived but required emergency surgery for serious internal injuries.

Reilly has pleaded not guilty to a 13-count indictment that includes attempted murder, assault and weapons charges.

The case drew widespread attention after exclusive Ring doorbell video obtained by News 12 appeared to show the moment shots were fired as the driver tried to leave the property.

Reilly remains out on bail as the case moves forward. A judge ordered him to wear an ankle monitor and surrender his passport while awaiting trial.

Jury selection is expected to take several days before opening statements begin.

Reilly's wife also faces charges of hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence. Selina Nelson-Reilly is due back in court next month.
