The trial for a Strongsville teen accused of murder following a deadly crash that occurred last July is underway. Mackenzie Shirilla, 18, faces multiple charges – including murder, felonious assault and aggravated vehicle homicide – in connection with a deadly crash that killed two people in July of 2022. Strongsville police say the crash happened at 6:15 a.m. on Sunday, July 31, 2022, near the intersection of Progress and Alameda. Upon their arrival, officers say they located a Toyota Camry “with severe damage and full airbag deployments.” All three occupants inside the vehicle – including Shirilla – were unconscious, not breathing and trapped inside the vehicle. 19-year-old Davion Flanagan and 20-year-old Dominic Russo were both pronounced dead at the scene. Shirilla, who was 17 years old at the time of the crash, was taken to the hospital via Metro Life Flight. She was arrested months later in November. Monday, Shirilla appeared in court with her right arm wrapped in a sling.
