Mackenzie Shirilla’s Father Put on Leave After Netflix Documentary Sparks Backlash…

PEOPLE contacted the school for comment, though no immediate response was provided.

The case centers on a July 31, 2022 crash in Strongsville, Ohio, when 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla drove into a brick wall at nearly 100 mph. The collision killed her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, 20, and their friend, Davion Flanagan, 19.

Although the incident was first considered an accident, investigators later alleged that Mackenzie intentionally accelerated before impact. She was arrested in November 2022 and faced multiple charges, including murder and aggravated vehicular assault.

In August 2023, Mackenzie received a life sentence with parole eligibility after 15 years, with two concurrent life terms imposed. Appeals filed by her legal team in September 2023 and April 2025 were both unsuccessful.
