Overview
- On July 31, 2022, Shirilla’s car hit a brick building at about 100 mph, killing passengers Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan while Shirilla survived with serious injuries.
- A judge convicted Shirilla in a 2023 bench trial of multiple felonies, including murder and aggravated vehicular homicide, and sentenced her to two concurrent 15‑to‑life terms with parole eligibility in 2037.
- Post‑conviction challenges failed when appeals were denied and a later petition was dismissed for being filed one day late, leaving the convictions legally final.
- Netflix released The Crash on May 15, 2026, featuring Shirilla’s first prison interview and family interviews that have renewed national attention and fierce online debate.
- The film produced concrete fallout: Shirilla’s father was placed on administrative leave from his school job and former inmates and social pages have circulated conflicting accounts of Shirilla’s behavior in custody.
