Donovan Faison Convicted in Killing of Pregnant Girlfriend

A Seminole County jury convicted Donovan L. Faison, 23, of first-degree murder and of killing an unborn child for the Nov. 11, 2022, shooting death of his 18-year-old girlfriend, Kaylin Fiengo, whose body was found in a car at Coastline Park in Sanford. Prosecutors say Faison killed Fiengo because she refused to have an abortion after repeated arguments; investigators say he lured her to the park and relied on incriminating text messages, including 'Abortion!!!' and 'On my brothers grave, I'm gonna crop her out,' to show intent. Jurors deliberated roughly two hours before returning the guilty verdict. The penalty phase began Wednesday, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty. Fiengo’s family expressed relief at the verdict while mourning her loss, and authorities described the investigation as exhaustive.
