On August 2, 2022, 25-year-old Wendy Daniel was found dead in an alley near Northwest 26th Avenue and 95th Street in Miami-Dade County. Responding officers arrived shortly after 7 a.m. and discovered her partially nude, suffering a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Surveillance footage captured the incident and showed Daniel arriving in a gray sedan driven by 43-year-old Ron Adam Donaldson of Miami Beach. The video reportedly shows both individuals exiting the vehicle unclothed, and as Daniel attempted to stand Donaldson grabbed her and shot her once in the head before leaving in his car.

Donaldson was identified from the footage, arrested at his Miami Beach condominium, and charged with second-degree murder. Investigators have linked him to at least five other sexual assault cases in the area, and an armed sexual battery charge was later added relating to a separate June 15, 2022 incident. Daniel’s mother, Tiffany Williams, described her grief and anger; the family held a vigil on the first anniversary of Wendy’s death. Anyone with information is asked to come forward.
