Shirilla Texts Mom After Crash, Hints at Hypnosis in Ohio Murder Case

Mackenzie Shirilla, then 17, was driving about 100 mph when a July 2022 crash in Strongsville, Ohio killed her boyfriend Dominic Russo and friend Davion Flanagan; she survived and was later convicted in 2023 of murder, aggravated vehicular homicide and other charges, receiving two concurrent sentences of 15 years to life. Prosecutors described a toxic relationship and an attempted murder‑suicide, supported by car data showing hard acceleration and no braking. After the crash she texted Russo’s mother saying she couldn’t remember what happened and planned to undergo hypnosis to recover memories; Shirilla has claimed memory loss due to trauma, though no medical records confirmed a POTS diagnosis at trial. She remains incarcerated and is parole-eligible after 15 years.

Belmont County Tops Ohio Lyme Risk as Tick Hotspots Spread

Ohio is seeing a rising tick population across several counties, with the black‑legged deer tick, Lone Star tick, and American dog tick spreading Lyme disease and other illnesses. Belmont County reports the most Lyme disease cases in 2026, followed by Jefferson, Licking, Muskingum, and Tuscarawas counties. Outdoorsers should take precautions—wear long clothing, use DEET, stay on trails, perform full-body tick checks, and remove ticks promptly (within 24 hours) to lower infection risk.

Ohio voters curb school funding measures amid tax concerns

In the May 5, 2026 primary, Ohio voters rejected most new property and income tax levies for K-12 schools (24 of 66 passed), while about 3 in 4 renewal levies were approved. The results suggest fatigue with new school funding via tax hikes despite aging district infrastructure and state funding gaps, leaving districts to consider potential cuts. Libraries fared better overall, and the broader political context includes debates over public versus private education funding and calls for cost-cutting or consolidation in schools.

Ohio AG Yost to resign, opening vacancy for DeWine’s appointee

Mike DeWine would fill the vacancy with a temporary appointment, potentially triggering a broader GOP reshuffle as other statewide offices are contested or repositioned; Yost had previously pursued a run for governor but exited the race in 2025.

Trump-Backed Upsets Highlight Indiana Primary, Stakes Rise in Ohio

Trump-backed challengers won several Indiana Senate primaries amid record outside spending, underscoring the former president’s ongoing sway with his base even as incumbents faced redistricting pressure. In Ohio, the political stakes included a Democratic renomination for Sherrod Brown to face Jon Husted, Vivek Ramaswamy’s victory in the GOP governor’s race, and Derek Merrin advancing to challenge Marcy Kaptur in a newly drawn district; Michigan produced a strong Democratic win in a state Senate special election with Chedrick Greene defeating Jason Tunney. The piece frames a broader trend of energized Democrats in opposition to Trump coexisting with a core-conservative base that remains loyal to him, signaling a polarized path into the midterms.
