A nineteen-year-old woman was found guilty in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas for a July 2022 crash that took the lives of two Strongsville teens.
The defendant, Mackenzie F. Shirilla, was found guilty on all counts.
She had been charged with murder, felonious assault, aggravated vehicular homicide, drug possession, and possessing criminal tools, according to court records.
The crash happened on July 31, 2022, just after 6 a.m. near Progress and Alameda drives. The occupants, Shirilla, Davion Flanagan, 19, and Dominic Russo, 20, had to be extricated from the vehicle. Shirilla was flown to MetroHealth in Cleveland for treatment, while Flanagan and Russo were pronounced dead at the scene.
Court records show that Shrilla "did purposely cause the death" of the two teens by crashing the vehicle she was driving.
Shirilla will be sentenced at a later date.
