Chapter 1: What happened in Mackenzie Shirilla's crash that killed two people?
Welcome to the second half of part one of the case of Mackenzie Shirella.
In the first half of part one, we went through a lot of what people have been saying about Mackenzie Shirella's personality, getting to know all of her school disciplinary records, how she was trying to be a social media influencer, a lot of her private Instagram DMs because we received a 2000 page document of just her Instagram direct messages that were a little eye-opening and
As well as the fact that once she woke up from the car crash as the sole survivor after Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan were killed in the car crash, she claims that she doesn't remember a single thing. She doesn't remember pedal to the metal, going nearly 100 miles per hour straight into a brick building, never touching the brake. She doesn't remember anything. Nothing.
Chapter 2: How did Mackenzie's personality and relationships contribute to the incident?
So with that being said, this is the second half. Text messages from almost exactly a year before the crash, Mackenzie tells Dom, maybe when you can actually formulate a sentence yourself and not just repeat what I said last, I'll take this fucking conversation seriously. To which Dom responds, WTF? See, I don't say anything mean. You just purposely try to say hurtful things.
You say that I'm not going on vacation with you
Chapter 3: What evidence was collected to investigate the crash?
You say you're not going to do anything for me anymore. Like what? You said you were going to break up with me too. Like that's all verbally abusive. When you want to fix this on both ends, let me know. Mackenzie responds, I'm allowed to say how I feel and if you don't like that, then that sucks. Why would I want to go on vacation with someone that won't even give me one gram of free weed?
So this is literally just her getting mad that he's not giving her weed. He tells her he does give her weed, like free weed all the time, right? He's like, you always demand weed from me. I'm giving it to you. She just responds, too bad because I don't want your whack-ass weed anymore. I never want it again. He's like, so we're done over that? Is there someone else?
Like you literally got me thinking about quitting weed. And she blames everything on Dom. Now, a lot of people might take this as the truth, but I will say consistently over 30,000 something pages, this is like a pattern of Mackenzie. Anything wrong happens in her life, she blames somebody. So she says, how are you going to get me addicted to weed and then not give me weed when I need it?
Like the fuck? So fed up with your shit. I personally don't think that Dom got her addicted to weed. I think that, I mean, they're all teenagers. I think that she would have discovered weed regardless of Dom. I don't even know if he's the one that introduced it to her or if they both started at the same time. Like she just likes to blame everyone for all of her problems.
To which Dom responds, Kenzie, I try to tell you not to rip bongs at six in the morning, but you do it every day. And she responds, that's not the problem, hun. I give you free weed. That doesn't mean you can smoke as much as you want. Kenzie, you smoke like a chimney and you're being mean as fuck to me right now.
Even when he's trying to be level-headed and worried for her health, she's just kind of freaking out on him. She just kind of expects him to do everything for her, even emotionally be there for her, no matter what she's feeling. And Mackenzie feels a lot of things, seemingly overreacting.
all the freaking time when dom is going on a flight to california he texts mckenzie that it's really annoying because he's in the middle seat quote i'm in between two people i don't know she responds wtf yeah right so he's thinking oh my gosh like she's feeling bad for me i'm gonna need to know if it's a girl he reassures her it probably won't be anyone to worry about i haven't seen anyone that is attractive at all just mostly weird looking people
One person who knows the couple says none of Dom's exes would even keep in contact with him because they all knew Mackenzie was kind of crazy. She's psycho a little bit.

Chapter 4: How did Mackenzie's behavior change after the crash?
But it seems like he's just expected to do everything, even pay for her. In text messages, they're discussing a potential trip to New York City. Dom is asking her, can you afford it? Which is like a completely normal question to ask because New York City is one of the most expensive cities in the US to visit. So it's a completely valid question. Mackenzie freaks out.
Actually, maybe I don't want to go with you if you're going to be like that. I'm not going on vacation with you. So I'm done talking about this. Why are you literally being crazy right now? To which Dom responds, Mackenzie, you're being crazy. She responds, Dom, I'm filling out a fucking job application while you're spamming me. Dom is just so taken aback.
He's like, you're trying to make me feel obligated to spend thousands on you. She responds in caps, then don't question mark. Which side note about her filling out a job application, Mackenzie was fired from multiple jobs. Those who worked with her said that she was just like a shit employee. For Dunkin' Donuts, she had just gotten her hair done the day, I think, of coming into her shift.
So the manager tells her, hey, you know, it's like part of the uniform. You have to wear the Dunkin' hat because everybody wears the Dunkin' hat. And like you work for Dunkin', so you gotta wear the Dunkin' hat. And she is so offended by this. She's sending like voice notes to her friends and she's like, Can you believe that they told me to wear the hat?
And I was trying to explain to them, I just got my hair done so I can't wear the hat. And the manager was telling her, you can't expect us to let you have special privileges and treat you differently from any of the other employees. Like you have to wear the hat. Mackenzie quits on the spot, leaves a horrible review for the Dunkin' Donuts location,
which normally I side with the employee, but it's very interesting that she genuinely does not comprehend why it's inappropriate for her to be treated differently than other employees. The concept befuddles her. To her, it's just like, what's the big deal about a hat? Which like, sure, maybe if it was one time, but she strikes me as the person to have a new reason every single time.
Today, it's the hat. Tomorrow, it's the, oh, I can't help you clean something because I just got my nails done. Like it's always something.
You're wearing a hat at a fast food restaurant. It's health code. What do you mean?
Yeah.

Chapter 5: What does the black box data reveal about the crash dynamics?
LOL, okay. Babe, only $400. She also sends him a link to Venus flowers, the forever flowers. And then she sends another link to a pair of boots that are $3,500. It's like $3,400 for a pair of boots. Dom responds, those are so gas. She responds, I want them. He's trying to be reasonable. The price tag on them is crazy, though. Do you think you can walk in them? Mackenzie ignores and DMs him.
Post a pic of us. On IG? Yes. What picture? You pick. I'll see what I got. She texts him another time. I'm at Nordstrom's. If I see a Skims dress, can I buy it? But like maybe the relationship is not always all the time one-sided. Maybe Mackenzie does a lot of things for Dom too. In one text message exchange, Mackenzie texts Dom, I'm bringing home sushi and calamari for you. Dom says, bet.
Mackenzie responds, I got sushi from this place and they literally gave me the most gross shit ever. To which Dom is confused and he's texting her back, what place and what sushi are you bringing me? It isn't going to be gross, right? Mackenzie responds, babe, I don't know what to wear tomorrow. So it feels like she's bringing him gross shit, like the leftovers.
Even prom, Mackenzie says that she got a super custom, very expensive dress that Dom paid half of the entire dress. He even rented a party bus just for the two of them because everybody hates Mackenzie at school. So she had no friends to join her party bus. And there's videos of the two of them in the party bus alone.
And it looks like Dom is doing everything to make sure Mackenzie is having a good time. He's singing for her. He's trying to make her laugh. He's trying to uplift her mood. Mackenzie says, everybody told us we look like movie stars at night. And if Dom ever hangs out with the boys without Mackenzie, there's many a times where she gets so upset by that. She'll have these very smart Instagram DMs.
Have fun with a dick in your ass. Bro time. Like if you think I give a single fuck about Blair, so Blair is Dom's best guy friend, okay? There was like a, because Blair keeps coming up, there was this misconception on TikTok that Blair was a girl that Dom was cheating on Mackenzie with. This is not true at all. Like Blair is a guy, right?
And there is no indication that they were having any sort of romantic relationship, right? So just clearing the air on that. But she's saying, if you think I give a single fuck about Blair, you're wrong. It's okay though. Just deal with your super important bro time. Like, are you actually fucking Blair? Do you want me to pull up to your fucking house right now with a fucking bat?
Like, fucking beat Blair's ass? Then he'll really be scared to come around. So be careful with who you choose first. Again, there's no indication whatsoever that Dom and Blair are romantically involved. Not saying that anything would be wrong if they were, but there's literally none. Even though Mackenzie's overreaction of a message almost seems like something is happening.
No, she's just upset because he wants to hang out with his best friend. To which Dom tries to calm Mackenzie down. I'm not choosing him first. Mackenzie, ever so calm, ever the voice of reason, responds, because I will fucking kill him. On God.

Chapter 6: What role did Mackenzie's diagnosis of POTS play in the investigation?
You're actually weirding me out. Like we aren't friends and haven't been friends since sophomore year. Now stop being worried about my life and go worry about your schedule for subway next week. She's just kind of a bitch. I don't really know how else to put it.
After this whole exchange, it appears Mackenzie goes to rant to another friend about it because she's DMing her friend about, quote unquote, the haters. And the friend responds to her trying to comfort her. Ugly girls will never understand. If you're pretty, you're never broke. So what if your boyfriend pays for you?
If I was her boyfriend, I wouldn't pay for shit because damn, what the fuck is that? Talking about how the way the way that person looks.
mackenzie continues literally and she's trying to like talk shit on me like it's repulsive do you know how badly i wanted to say worry about your own weight instead of my pockets but i didn't want to body shame just in case i'm gonna be famous soon and i can't be canceled ha ha ha ha that's insane yeah wait do you know when this was sent like a few months before the crash well she did become famous
yeah mackenzie is also the type of girl that absolutely hates when people copy her or even when she thinks people are copying her and she needs dom to comfort her for the very big emotions that come with people copying her she says redacted got the same wheel cover as me like you know the fucking pink fuzzy wheel cover steering wheel yeah mackenzie texts him so fucking weird like what the fuck question mark question mark question mark dom is like do you think she knew she deaf knew
how did you even find out even chloe told me i accidentally parked next to her lmao like what the fuck dom is like she's probably gonna be terrified because again that's how terrifying mackenzie is just the fact that she found out that you have the same steering wheel cover and she's gonna be terrified that she found out at some point i don't know if it's the same girl or another girl but mackenzie is telling dom that she wants to beat her up to which he tells her not to get in trouble
That's all he says. He's like, maybe not because you're going to get in trouble. Don't get in trouble. And she's upset. No, you were actually weird as fuck and do not talk to me. Dom's trying to explain. I just don't want you to get in trouble. He's like the voice of reason. But Mackenzie isn't having it.
She feels like Dom worrying about her getting in trouble is quote, let's not defend a fucking whore.
you're actually weird as fuck and you can go fuck her if you want to defend her because I don't need nobody I'm not defending her it's weird as fuck I mean sure she stalks you why are you going overboard on me I just don't want you to get in trouble and I don't want you super worked up over that like she's obviously just super salty or jealous of you or something anyway it seems like at this point he's just trying to make her feel better and she's like and you obviously got something on your mind with them long pauses you're we're just gonna break up if I have to fight for you

Chapter 7: How did the police interpret the evidence from the crash scene?
Like she, well, she's blowing up for honestly like nothing ever. It could be anything. This is through Instagram DMs. So this is he wasn't responding through text in the way that she wanted. So then now she's come to Instagram DMs and she's just like ranting. And usually like it takes a minute because they don't really give context to the fight, obviously, because they're texting each other.
But then once you figure out what the fight is about, it's like absolutely over nothing. And so Dom is responding, I do everything for you. I ask for nothing. You bring me down. You don't let me chase any of my dreams. You always say that you come first. Mackenzie doesn't respond to any of the things that Dom is saying.
She says, I'm going to give you until the end of the day to apologize and figure out what you did. If you don't actually make this up to me by the end of today and make it good and make me actually believe you, then we are done and I'm moving on with my life. Kenzie, it's not me. I'm sorry, but it's not me anymore. You're doing this. You're making us break up.
Yes, I know I'm doing this because I have standards unlike you. Now, this is your last chance because I will move on. If you think you're going to be anything without me, you are a joke. I would answer now. Kenzie, I'm not afraid of any of that anymore. Like I'm all or nothing. I love you, but I don't have to be with you if you're going to try to do this to me.
Once again, she ignores him and writes back, or else you're gonna get blocked and I'm gonna start texting people. Kenzie, you can be with me or go. Is that your answer? So you're just not gonna make this up to me by the end of the night? I don't even know what I'm making up. This is ridiculous. Is that what you're saying? I would answer. Is that what you're saying?
You have until six o'clock or you're blocked and we're done forever. I will literally burn that fucking scrapbook. Zero fucks given. I love you, but I'm not doing this. This is crazy. I don't get it. Wow. Okay, we're done. Last chance. I've given you over three chances today. This is your last chance to make things right and make it up to me by six. Answer now, now, now, now.
Dom is so genuinely confused by this, he asks her, did all my messages send? He literally, he's thinking maybe she's not getting his messages and that's why she's ignoring him and just freaking out unreasonably. Mackenzie confirms, yes or no, I don't give a fuck about your messages. Mackenzie, I don't know what I'm making up. Probably don't mean shit anyway.
I don't care because you're dumb as fuck. You have until six. I'm not telling you how to fix anything. You're saying I talked bad to you? Is that what I'm making up? Yes or no? Okay, you have until five now. Kinsey, yeah, I'll make up whatever, but I don't think any of this is really necessary. Are you serious? Like, I know you didn't just say that. How fucking dumb can you be?
This is a very small argument and you're putting our relationship over it. I don't get it. She later quotes him and says, because he said something along the lines of like, I don't think. She quotes, I don't think. And she says, Yeah, this is not about what you think. You're literally dumb as fuck. I feel so bad. How the fuck are you not getting that it's more than that and more than this?

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the crash for Mackenzie's future?
All I'm saying is, like, I'll do whatever to make you happy, but I feel like you're being unreasonable today because of your stress over your toe and your nose and school. So, like, I don't know what happened. This is me saying this. Like, I don't know what happened, but, like, these seem like non-problems. Your toe, your nose. Like unless you broke your nose. Like why is she freaking out on it?
It's so weird. If this isn't made up correctly by four o'clock, I'm blocking you and we are done forever. Your attitude will change. Your attitude needs to change, babe. We're broken up until you decide what you're going to do to fix this. If the timer hits four o'clock and nothing has happened, we are done. Your attitude needs to change and I'll change whatever. I know you didn't just say that.
This is about you. You. You called me with a bad attitude first, babe. Do you want me to break up with you for good right now? Because that could happen too. And then Mackenzie mass texts him. Do you want me to break up with you for good right now? Do you want me to break up with you for good right now? Do you want me to break up with you for good right now?
Do you want me to break up with you for good right now? She sends that four times. I'm not repeating it for emphasis. She literally sends the exact same message four times. And he tells her you're being childish. I'm not entertaining it. So we're done. Is that what you're saying? You're not going to make this up to me by four o'clock. We're just going to go through the cycle.
If you do not answer the fucking question, you are blocked. And I'm going to start texting new people like I'm so serious. Clearly, you don't even want a girlfriend. Five, four, three, two. Two, one, Dom responds, why are you doing this? Like, I don't get it. I mean, we can make it three. Like, this isn't love. If this is made up to me by three o'clock, if it's not, we're done.
This isn't healthy. This isn't right. Like, we can make it so much better than this. You're right. We can make it so much better after you make it up to me at three o'clock and prove you're gonna do better. Until then, we are broken up. I would watch what you say from this point on because one thing that I said wrong will result in instant blocking and I will literally start talking to new people.
Dom doesn't respond for an hour before Mackenzie DMs him again. I'm going to take this as you're not making this up to me. Answer right now. Answer right now. Kenzie, if you want to be in my life, you will be. If you want to leave, I'm not stopping you. So you're not going to change your attitude and make it up to me? So you're not going to make it up to me? Yes or no?
Kenzie, you have a bad attitude too. It's a yes or no question. It's a yes or no question. And this is about you, not me. Kenzie, no, this is about you and you're making it about me. You have a bad attitude, babe. You called me with a bad attitude first and I'm not doing this anymore. I love you, but I have to set boundaries for myself too. This is February 20th, 2022.
Five months later, Dom will be dead. Now, I'm not singling out this like one toxic fight that happened months in advance where Mackenzie is clearly suffocating Dom over and over again, not respecting his boundaries. But I'm emphasizing- that this happens multiple times a week.
