Summary
On the morning of July 31, 2022, Mackenzie Shirilla's Toyota Camry slammed into a commercial building in Strongsville, Ohio, at approximately 100 mph. Dominic Russo died instantly, while Davion Flanagan succumbed to his injuries shortly afterward. Despite catastrophic injuries, Shirilla survived.
Join Mike and Morf as they examine the highly publicized case of Mackenzie Shirilla, the Ohio teenager convicted of intentionally causing a high-speed crash that killed her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and their friend, Davion Flanagan, in July 2022. Initially believed to be an accident, the investigation soon shifted as detectives uncovered evidence suggesting the crash had been intentional.
