Trial of Strongsville teen charged with murder in deadly crash enters 2nd day

Описание: 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.

Prosecutors contend Shirilla purposefully caused the crash, and on Tuesday, jurors heard testimony from Russo's mother and brother. Russo and Shirilla had been dating at the time, and the two witnesses spoke about the state of the pair's relationship.
