Tampa Serial Killer Pleads Guilty to 4 Murders.

Howell Donaldson III, accused of killing four people in Seminole Heights, Tampa, in 2017, pleaded guilty to four counts of murder and was sentenced to life in prison. The victims were seemingly unconnected and were each killed while walking alone at night within a half-mile area. Donaldson was connected to the murders through cell phone location data and a firearm he purchased, which was connected to the first three murders. Prosecutors had previously sought the death penalty if the case had gone to trial.

Seminole Heights serial killer pleads guilty to murders.

Howell Donaldson III, the Seminole Heights serial killer, has pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder to avoid the death penalty. The murders of Benjamin Edward Mitchell, Monica Hoffa, Anthony Naiboa, and Ronald Felton between Oct. 9, 2017, and Nov. 14, 2017, appeared to be random. Donaldson was identified as the killer after he gave a gun to his manager at McDonald’s in Ybor City, who then turned it in to Tampa police. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences.
