The footage showed both individuals exiting the vehicle unclothed. As Wendy attempted to stand, Donaldson grabbed her and shot her once in the head before fleeing the scene in his car.

Further investigations linked him to at least five other sexual assault cases in the Miami-Dade area. In February 2023, an additional charge of armed sexual battery was filed against Donaldson, related to a separate incident on June 15, 2022.
