Overview

• Mackenzie Shirilla, now 19, was convicted in 2023 of intentionally crashing her car into a brick wall at 100 mph, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagan in July 2022.
• Recently released police bodycam footage shows Shirilla's arrest, during which she expressed concern about her bracelet while being handcuffed and appeared calm despite the severity of the charges.
• Prosecutors argued Shirilla's actions were deliberate, motivated by her desire to end her relationship with Russo, with no attempt to slow down as captured on surveillance footage.
• Shirilla was sentenced to two concurrent 15-years-to-life prison terms and will be eligible for parole after 15 years, following the judge's decision to show leniency by not imposing consecutive sentences.
• The crash occurred after the group had been smoking marijuana, with Shirilla's THC levels exceeding Ohio's legal limit, though prosecutors did not pursue DUI charges.
