Mackenzie Shirilla's text messages to her boyfriend Dominic Russo have resurfaced after 'The Crash' began streaming on Netflix. The messages, which revealed anger, threats, and emotional outbursts, were part of the police investigation and have a connection to the night of the crash.
In 2022, Shirilla drove her Toyota Camry into a brick wall at about 100 mph, resulting in the death of her boyfriend Russo and their friend Davion Flanagan.
Court documents described the texts as those that showed a toxic relationship between Shirilla and Russo, with one message reading, “I’m gonna kill someone, I just want to bang my head on the wall till I’m dead.”
Prosecutors argued that the pair had been fighting often in the weeks before the crash, and that Russo had wanted to end the relationship.
However, Shirilla's aunt testified that the couple seemed “very much in love” and openly talked about future plans before the tragedy.
The resurfacing of the text messages has sparked debate among viewers, with some questioning how the omission of these details will form the public's point of view regarding the case.
