TAMPA, FLA. (WSVN) - Their son is accused of murdering four people and terrorizing a Tampa neighborhood. Now the parents of Howell Donaldson III say they are heartbroken over what has happened.
Rosita Donaldson and Howell Donaldson, Jr. spoke to Fox 13, expressing condolences to the victims’ families.
“We are very much heartbroken,” Rosita Donaldson said. “Our condolences, our heart goes out to the families as well. Our hearts go out to the families and the loss that they have.”
The devastated parents had gone into seclusion after their son was arrested and charged in the killing spree that struck fear in the Seminole Heights community.
