Convicted killer Mackenzie Shirilla has been assigned a prison job as she serves a life sentence for the 2022 crash that killed her boyfriend and one of their friends, Ohio prison officials confirmed to News Agency.
According to Tara Nickle, a correction warden assistant and public information officer for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, Shirilla’s current work assignment at the Ohio Reformatory for Women is in food service.
Officials did not release additional details about the position, citing exemptions under Ohio’s public-records law.
The limited update on Shirilla’s day-to-day life behind bars comes as the case has drawn fresh attention following Netflix’s “The Crash,” which revisited the deadly wreck that prosecutors argued was intentional, leading to the driver being labeled “hell on wheels.”
Shirilla, now 21, is serving two concurrent sentences of 15 years to life for the deaths of her boyfriend, 20-year-old Dominic Russo, and their friend, 19-year-old Davion Flanagan. Prosecutors said she deliberately drove her Toyota Camry into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio, on July 31, 2022.
