Woman gets 15 years to life in deaths of boyfriend, friend after 100 mph car crash into brick wall

CLEVELAND (AP) — A Cleveland-area woman convicted of murder in the death of her boyfriend and a friend after authorities said she deliberately slammed her car into a brick wall at 100 mph has been sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.

Mackenzie Shirilla was 17 at the time of the July 2022 crash in Strongsville that killed 20-year-old Dominic Russo and 19-year-old Davion Flanagan.

The judge spared the 19-year-old consecutive sentences but warned that she could spend the rest of her life in prison depending on her conduct and the parole board’s decision.

Shirilla tearfully read a statement apologizing to the victims’ families.
