A tragic incident unfolded in Ohio when a teenager intentionally crashed her car into a wall, resulting in the death of her boyfriend and his friend. The shocking details of the case have left the community in disbelief.
On Monday, 19-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla was convicted on 12 counts, including four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault, two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, one count of drug possession, and one count of possessing criminal tools.
The tragic crash occurred on July 31, 2022. Surveillance footage revealed that Shirilla accelerated to 100mph and deliberately drove into a wall that she had been observed passing by a few days earlier.
Authorities arrived at the scene 45 minutes after the crash, where they discovered the wreckage. Shirilla, who was 17 at the time, was taken to the hospital, but her boyfriend, 20-year-old Dominic Russo, and his friend, 19-year-old Davion Flanagan, tragically lost their lives.
Shirilla was arrested on November 4, 2022, and prosecutors presented evidence of a toxic relationship between her and Russo. They revealed that Shirilla had previously threatened him, including an incident where she expressed her intention to crash her car during an argument.
Video evidence recovered from Russo’s phone showcased Shirilla repeatedly degrading him, making threats, and damaging his property in the month leading up to the crash. The prosecution argued that her intent was not reckless driving but murder.
“The [crash] video clearly shows the purpose and intent of the defendant. She chose a course of death and destruction that day,” the judge said. “She morphs from a responsible driver to literal hell on wheels as she makes her way down the street.”
A disturbing TikTok video featuring Shirilla surfaced online, where the audio includes the statement, “I’m not even cool, I’m just one of those girls that can do a lot of drugs and not die.”
It has been reported that the trio had been smoking weed shortly before the tragic crash.
Shirilla is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, August 21st for sentencing.
