Man convicted of killing girlfriend, unborn child after she refused abortion – LifeSite
(LifeSiteNews) — A Florida man who shot his pregnant girlfriend dead in Florida in 2022 was convicted on October 27 by jury of first-degree murder, burglary, and the killing of their unborn child. He may face the death penalty as a result.
Twenty-three-year-old Donovan Faison invited his girlfriend, 18-year-old Kaylin Fiengo, to Coastline Park in Sanford, Florida, on November 11, 2022. Fiengo thought they would be celebrating the pregnancy; instead, Faison shot her in the head while she sat inside her car. He was arrested on August 29, 2023.
Fiengo had purportedly been happy when she found out she was pregnant; she sent her boyfriend a “photo of two positive pregnancy tests.” Faison, however, responded by angrily texting her one word: “Abortion!!!” Prosecutors stated that Faison thought she was lying and was “angry and felt pressured because he was living with another woman who accurately suspected him of cheating.”
Faison had another child with a different woman, and he offered to purchase Plan B for Fiengo to induce an abortion. Fiengo also shared a child with a separate father, whom she told that she hoped Faison would not punch her in the stomach when she met with him.
Faison’s anger grew when Fiengo refused to get an abortion, even though he demanded that she get one several times. According to Matt Reed, the public information officer for the State Attorney’s Office in the 18th Judicial Circuit, Faison sent a text shortly before he killed her that read: “On my brothers grave, I’m gonna crop her out.” It was these texts, discovered by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, that led to his arrest.
“He said he was going to do it, then he did it. The police got the right guy,” prosecutor Domenick Leo told the court. The police had discovered Fiengo’s body in the car, still running, in the parking lot during a routine patrol. The driver’s window was down, and there was blood near the door. Faison had manually disabled his phone and taken out the SIM card before going to the park to perpetrate the double murder.
According to one media outlet, prosecutors “were later able to place Faison at the scene thanks to a friend who said Fiengo had told her she was going to the park to meet him.” In a heartbreaking postscript, investigators discovered an ultrasound photo of the unborn child a few feet from Fiengo’s body. Both were left to die in the car after Faison shot her in the head. The baby was nearing the end of his first trimester.
“Although Kaylin’s family continues to feel the pain of her loss, we hope that today’s guilty verdict brings them some comfort and peace,” Police Chief Cecil Smith stated after the verdict. “We stand with Kaylin’s family and our community as justice is served and Faison faces sentencing. Thank you to our Major Crimes Unit for conducting a thorough and exhaustive investigation into such a difficult case. Our team also extends a special thank you to Detective Geraldine Blay-Raffo of the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office Digital Forensics Unit for lending her expertise to help our investigators seek justice for Kaylin.”
Faison demanded that his girlfriend kill their baby. When she refused, he murdered them both. It is revealing that media outlets—including pro-abortion publications such as People—emphasized that this was a double murder. Most media—and most progressive politicians—would refuse to publicly admit that the baby on the ultrasound photo found near Fiengo’s body is a human being in order to justify the abortion which Faison demanded. But two people died that tragic night three years ago, and this time, they are forced to admit it.
