“Kenzie u know i love u but i don’t think we should be together at this point there isnt very much time on earth yaknow,” he wrote in the message, which Shirilla read on June 2, 2022 – a month before she intentionally floored her Toyota Camry into a brick wall at 100 mph, killing Russo and friend Davion Flanagan in Strongsville, Ohio.
“I dont want u to think im abandoning u i wish it could work but i don’t think its going to at this point especially with the threats,” he continued. “We should just breakup so we can both find happiness somewhere else.”

Her twisted saga is the subject of the hit Netflix documentary, “The Crash,” which has catapulted to No. 1 since its debut Friday.
The then-19-year-old killed Russo because their relationship fizzled.
“She had a mission, and she executed it with precision. The decision was death,” Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Nancy Margaret Russo said in 2023.
