Man cheats on girlfriend, then kills woman when she refuses abortion, FL cops say
A man accused of fatally shooting a pregnant woman after she refused to abort what was believed to be his child was found guilty of first-degree premeditated murder on Monday.
A jury returned the guilty verdict against 23-year-old Donovan Faison in Seminole County court on Oct. 27, nearly three years after he was accused of killing then-18-year-old Kaylin Fiengo in a park in Sanford, court records show.
During a routine patrol of Coastline Park on Nov. 11, 2022, an officer found a vehicle running in the parking lot with someone in the driver’s seat, according to an arrest affidavit.
When the officer approached the vehicle, they found blood on the ground by the driver’s side passenger door and the driver’s window was down, police said.
The officer found Fiengo in the driver’s seat with a gunshot wound, according to the affidavit, and emergency personnel later declared her dead.
As police were investigating the scene, a friend of Fiengo’s arrived at the park and said she hadn’t heard from Fiengo and used the “find my iPhone” feature to track her to the park, the affidavit said.
The friend told police Fiengo had come to the park to meet with her “second baby daddy,” a man she identified as Faison, according to the affidavit.
Reporting at the time of Faison’s arrest suggested he and Fiengo were in a relationship. B but arrest records say while the two were intimate, Faison was in a romantic relationship with another woman with whom he shared a baby.
Fiengo’s friends informed police she told Faison about the pregnancy and he offered to buy her Plan B, a medication used to terminate an early pregnancy, according to the affidavit. Faison told Fiengo he didn’t want another baby, and when she didn’t take the medication, he insisted she have an abortion.
During a meeting between the two, Faison is accused of taking Fiengo’s phone and sending messages to himself saying “the baby is not Donovan’s.” Fiengo had also made statements to the father of her first child that she hoped she would not be punched in the stomach when meeting with Faison, the affidavit said.
Three days before the shooting, Fiengo contacted Faison’s girlfriend on the day she went for an ultrasound and told her about the pregnancy, according to police.
Faison’s girlfriend had discovered the cheating in August when she saw her vehicle, which Faison had borrowed at Fiengo’s home, and she later put a tracker in the car, according to the affidavit.
Faison and his girlfriend broke up because of the cheating, but, sharing a child, the two still lived together and were trying to work through their relationship, the girlfriend told police.
The two shared their locations on their phones to build trust, and on Nov. 11 his girlfriend saw that his location had been turned off, according to police.
Faison had told his girlfriend Fiengo would not be having his baby, according to police, but she told officers she didn’t know what that meant at the time. The girlfriend said Faison had owned a gun in the past but had not brought it to their shared home as she didn’t want a firearm in the house, the affidavit said.
When Faison’s girlfriend learned of the infidelity, she told Faison she wanted a paternity test to be completed with the child, and that if he turned out to be the father, she would leave him, according to the affidavit.
Police said they tracked Faison’s phone leading up to the shooting and found he had searched ways to delete tracking history and search history, and searched for information on location tracking.
On Nov. 11, Faison told his girlfriend he was going to his mother’s house with a friend, located close to the Coastline Park, the report said, while he told Fiengo he wanted to meet.
Faison then manually disabled his phone and removed the SIM card so his location couldn’t be tracked before going to the park and shooting Fiengo, police said.
Faison was arrested on Aug. 29, 2023, on charges of first-degree premeditated murder, killing of an unborn child by injury to the mother and burglary of a conveyance with an assault or battery with a firearm while inflicting death, court records show.
A jury found Faison guilty on all counts, and he is set for sentencing on Oct. 29, according to the court. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in this case.
“We’ve been waiting a long time for this,” Tatiana Fiengo, Fiengo’s aunt, told WOFL. “It doesn’t bring her back, but at least he’s not out hurting other people.”
Sanford is about a 30-mile drive northeast from Orlando.
