Donaldson never appeared in a game for St. John's as a walk-on guard. His bio on the St. John's website was quickly removed following the accusation.
Don't let the fact that he was a college athlete take away from him being accused of killing four people between the ages of 22 and 60.
Weirdly enough, he was only detained because he asked a worker at McDonald's to hold a loaded gun for him. It was later discovered that the gun was used in three of the killings. Tampa police were also able to link Donaldson's cell phone to the location and time of each of the murders.
