Summary

At 5:30 a.m. on July 31, 2022, 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla drove her Toyota Camry into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio, at 100 miles per hour. The devastating crash killed her boyfriend, 20-year-old Dominic Russo, and their 19-year-old friend, Davion Flanagan. While the May 2026 Netflix documentary The Crash features Shirilla's first on-camera interview and heavily spotlights her defenders, the actual trial record tells a profoundly different story.
