In a chilling courtroom decision on Friday, a judge in Florida sentenced Donovan Faison to death for the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend and her unborn baby.

The Seminole County court declared the fate of 23-year-old Faison, who was found guilty of killing 18-year-old Kaylin Fiengo in 2022. This information was confirmed by a statement from the Office of the State Attorney, 18th Judicial Circuit, as detailed in their press release.

Prosecutor Stewart Stone previously emphasized to the jury, “The cold, calculated, premeditated nature of this killing cannot be ignored. This was an execution-style murder.”

According to WFTV-9, a jury found Faison guilty of first-degree murder last November, which included the tragic “death of an unborn child.” Additionally, he faced charges of burglary.

Fiengo was killed by Faison while she was seated in a Nissan in Sanford. Prosecutors stated that he had lured her to Coastline Park before fatally shooting her in the head.

Investigators found a bullet casing at the scene, along with an ultrasound image.

The prosecution said Faison became upset when Fiengo refused to get an abortion, and “erupted” in anger when she showed him two positive pregnancy tests.

Faison replied with a one-word text message to Fiengo that read, “Abortion!!!,” according to Law&Crime.

Text messages shown to jurors revealed that Faison told a friend he wanted to “crop her out,” referring to the victim. At the time, Faison had reportedly been living with another woman who had suspected him of cheating.

“Phones are an extension of your mind and your body – it’s the reason we can give you clear, convincing evidence,” prosecutor Domenick Leo stated. “He said he was going to do it, then he did it. The police got the right guy.”

In an 11-1 vote, the jury recommended the death penalty due to aggravating factors in the case.

“She graduated high school early as a young mother, with her cap saying ‘mommy did it, ‘” Fiengo’s mother said in a statement.

“She is a loss for many, but for her mom an empty hole in my heart that will never heal.”
