A 35-year-old New York mother ran over a teenage boy under the mistaken belief that the victim was involved in a robbery that targeted her son, the local district attorney said in an interview discussing the attempted murder indictment.

In an interview with local news channel News 12, Suffolk District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney said that Long Island’s Jennifer Nelson “hunted” and ran over the unidentified 15-year-old teen not once but twice with a leased Honda SUV that she traded in later the same day. The DA said that the trade-in of the suspect vehicle was part of a failed effort to stay off the radar of investigators.

The alleged attack occurred on Oct. 7, 2022, in a parking lot near William Floyd High School, located in Mastic Beach, Tierney said.

“She believed that students who participated in a robbery targeting her son earlier that day, were still present at the Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot, and she allegedly wanted to confront them,” said a press release announcing the indictment. “Once in the parking lot, Nelson threatened a group of students while brandishing a knife and a small bat. During this incident, the victim left the parking lot and walked across the street to the parking lot of Manhattan Bagel.”

“Nelson allegedly then got back into her vehicle, left the Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot, crossed Mastic Road, entered the parking lot of Manhattan Bagel at a high rate of speed, and drove directly at the victim who was standing in the parking lot,” police said. “Nelson’s vehicle struck the victim who then fell onto the ground. Nelson proceeded to drive over the victim, up onto a curb, reversed, drove over the victim again, and then fled the scene. Later that evening, Nelson allegedly traded her 2020 Honda Passport in for a newer model, even though her lease was not set to expire.”

Court records reviewed by Law&Crime show that Nelson was arrested the next day and charged with leaving the scene, second-degree assault and first-degree reckless endangerment.
