‘Dreams Shattered’: Victims’ Families Rip Teen Killer Mackenzie Shirilla for Double Murder Crash

The family of Mackenzie Shirilla’s victims addressed the judge ahead of the 19-year-old killer’s sentencing Monday. Shirilla was convicted of purposefully murdering her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and friend, Davion Flanagan, in a deadly, premeditated crash in 2022. “I hope Mackenzie will find true remorse in her heart and repentance,” the mother of Davion Flanagan said. “This was not a car accident,” Christine Russo said before Shirilla was sentenced. “The evidence and science prove Mackenzie murdered my son Dominic.”

Dominic and Davion’s mom’s statements and even Davion’s little sisters statement were so well spoken, articulate, and heartfelt. Then comes Mackenzie’s mom, OKAY? She’s sorry, OKAY? She’s devastated, OKAY??

[DocBree]

Dominic’s mother’s statement was so powerful, and completely true. I hope the Sharillas were listening, but I doubt it. My heart goes out to her and to all of the victim’s loved ones. RIP Dominic and Davion.

The sister said it perfect, “she has always taken the easy way out”. Sorry for your loss sweet girl and to the rest of the families!! My hearts break for you. Glad you received justice for you two boys.

Her parents still ain’t holding her accountable for her actions. Look no further, that’s EXACTLY where it started. So predictable.

[LB-bwvj]

I cant help but notice Mckenzie shed gallons of tears for herself when found guilty but can't work up any real tears hearing impact statements. Her sentence should be longer. That person who cares only for herself is still evident in her behavior.

[GooGooGal]

She deserves to sit for years to realize what she has done. I’m tired of these young angry teens hurting people. No excuses!

[jayrod]

The dad shouting "You're innocent" to her daughter is insane. I'll bet he won't be shouting that if it was the other way around. RIP to those two young men 🙏🏼

[katewinterink]

Dominic's mother made such a powerful statement and did a spectacular job calling out the shirilla family. They're not holding MacKenzie accountable. They're condoning her actions so someone had to do it.

[rogerwilliams]

Her dad shouting “You’re innocent” clearly shows that stupidity runs in their family.

[GooGooGal]

Yes. Mom! Say it! She spoke the truth! Rest Devon!

Mackenzie is sitting there trying to at least look concerned. She’s failing. Her lack of tears speaks loudly. Such a senseless loss.

[Jacrispy]

I’ve helped her and her mom before where I work. And she was the worst customer I’ve ever helped, talked down to everyone including her mom. It’s crazy but not surprising she’s going through this.

[gingin]

When I watched the video of Dominic’s mom learning of his death my heart broke for her. Watching her pace around the house not being able to sit, I felt her anxiety. Such a terrible loss.

[Xyz]

She is trying so hard to cry but nothing is coming out. She’s sick.

[chelseaarntsen]

Davion’s mom cherished her son. Her statement broke my heart.

[gordonhamilton]

"A mothers love is a blessing". Beautiful heartfelt words from these two grieving mothers.

[thor]

These families deserve justice. Children are irreplaceable. She should be jailed for life.

[AquariusK]

These impact statements were some of the most powerful, sweet and concise ones I’ve ever heard. It’s unbelievable the difference between the victims families and Mackenzie ESPECIALLY Dom’s Mom—what a presence. My heart goes out to the victims families.

If you look at the officer in the background, he is trying his best to hold back his tears. Sadly, he is showing more genuine emotion than the horrible young woman who committed this heinous, evil crime.

[aeternapreliator]

15 years is getting away with a pure evil planned premeditated double murder, disgusting outcome for the families of the two boys who had there entire lives ahead of them.
