Mackenzie Shirilla's final text interactions with her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, via text showed frustrations ... but didn't appear hint at the horrific tragedy that would follow.

We've obtained the messages she exchanged with Russo just days before the crash ... and, in them, she complains about "Davion" -- presumably Davion Flanagan -- taking too long to get in the car.

The texts Shirilla and Dominic sent back and forth are short -- curt even -- but, they don't really raise any eyebrows ... they're missing apparent threatening language and toxicity.

TMZ obtained the petition 19-year-old Kai filed in Palm Beach County Court, against a 26-year-old man named Gabriel Garza Jr.

A source close to Kim tells TMZ ... Kim advocates for criminal justice reform by supporting individuals she believes were wrongfully convicted, as well as people within the prison system who have demonstrated rehabilitation and deserve a fair second chance. This case does not fall within her focus.
