Woman Gets 15 Years to Life in Deaths of Boyfriend, Friend After 100 MPH Car Crash

An Ohio woman who deliberately slammed her car into a brick wall at 100 mph, killing her boyfriend and a friend, was sentenced Monday to 15 years to life in prison.

Mackenzie Shirilla, 19, was found guilty last week on charges of murder, felonious assault, aggravated vehicular homicide, drug possession and possession of criminal tools. Shirilla was 17 at the time of the July 2022 crash in the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville. On that day, she made what Cuyahoga County Judge Margaret Russo called a “selfish, intentional and cruel decision.”

“There’s only one person who’s responsible for the pain of every person in this room and that person is you, Mackenzie,” Russo said during Monday’s sentencing. “Nobody else is responsible.”
