Ohio Teen's Intentional High-Speed Crash That Killed Two Reexamined in Released Bodycam Footage

Newly released video captures Mackenzie Shirilla's arrest, highlighting her unusual behavior after deliberately crashing her car at 100 mph, killing her boyfriend and his friend in 2022.

• 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.
