Florida boyfriend who killed pregnant teen Kaylin Fiengo for refusing abortion faces death penalty
A psychotic, two-timing Florida man killed his pregnant teenage girlfriend and her unborn child after she refused to get an abortion — and is facing the death penalty.
Donovan Faison, 23, was convicted last week of murdering Kaylin Fiengo, 18, who was found shot dead in her car beside an ultrasound image in November 2022 after she sent him the results of two positive pregnancy tests — to which he texted back, “Abortion!!!”
He “erupted” and felt “angry and pressured” because he was living with another woman who suspected him of cheating at the time, according to a release from the Sanford Police Department.

“On my brothers [sic] grave, I’m gonna crop her out,” he texted a friend about the teen, who was already the mom of a toddler, Ace.
Shortly after sending the text, Faison lured Fiengo to a meeting at Coastline Park in Sanford, just north of Orlando, the night she was found dead in the driver’s seat of her running car after she had told a friend she was going to meet him there.
A bullet casing and an ultrasound image were found near Fiengo’s body, cops said.
“This was an execution-style killing,” prosecutor Stewart Stone said, telling jurors they “should consider the cold, calculated, premeditated nature of this killing.”

Jurors voted 11-1 to recommend the death penalty, KALB reported.
The pregnant teen was at the end of her first trimester at the time of her murder. Police did not say if Faison was the father of the unborn child.
Prosecutor Domenick Leo told jurors during closing arguments that the phone messages gave “clear, convincing evidence.”
“He said he was going to do it, then he did it,” Leo said of the killer who was arrested around 10 months after the murder. “The police got the right guy.”
He is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 5.
