October 30, 2025 - Florida. Death recommended for Donovan Faison
A Seminole County jury has recommended the death penalty for Donovan Faison, who was convicted this week of killing his 18-year-old girlfriend after she refused to get an abortion.
Donovan Faison, 23, was convicted by a jury on charges of first-degree murder, killing an unborn child and burglary.
The case stems from the death of 18-year-old Kaylin Fiengo, who was shot and killed on Nov. 11, 2022.
According to a press release, Fiengo revealed her pregnancy to Faison by sending a photo of two positive pregnancy tests. He accused her of lying and then texted “Abortion!!!”
Faison allegedly was angry and felt pressured because he was living with another woman who suspected him of cheating.
“On my brother’s grave, I’m gonna crop her out,” Faison wrote in a text.
Shortly after sending that text, he convinced her to meet him at Coastline Park, where he shot her in the head and left her and the unborn child to die in the car.
At the crime scene, investigators found a bullet casing and an ultrasound image near the victim.
Faison was arrested 10 months later and charged with the murders. On Thursday, October 30, jurors voted 11-1 to recommend the death penalty.
The final decision on Faison’s sentence will be made by Circuit Judge Donna Goerner after a hearing on Dec. 5.
