Florida – A Florida jury has convicted 23-year-old D. Faison of first-degree murder and burglary for the 2022 killing of his 18-year-old pregnant ex-girlfriend, K. Fiengo, in a case that shocked the community. Prosecutors said Faison lured Fiengo to a remote park and shot her to death after she refused his repeated pleas to terminate her pregnancy.
After less than two hours of deliberation, jurors returned a guilty verdict, setting the stage for a possible death sentence.
A Relationship Marked by Deception and Control
Prosecutors described the crime as calculated and premeditated, fueled by anger and rejection. Fiengo, who was three months pregnant with Faison’s child, had refused to “get rid of the baby,” even as Faison maintained another relationship and was raising a child with a different woman.
Their relationship had deteriorated in the weeks before the murder, with Fiengo determined to move forward with her pregnancy despite mounting pressure from Faison. On the night of November 2022, she agreed to meet him at a park — a meeting she told a friend about earlier that day. Hours later, police found her slumped in the driver’s seat of her car, shot in the head. She and her unborn child were both pronounced dead at the scene.
The Investigation and Arrest
Detectives pieced together the case using phone records, witness statements, and digital evidence, which confirmed that Faison had arranged to meet her that night. In August 2023, nearly a year after the murder, authorities arrested him.
During the trial, prosecutors portrayed Faison as manipulative and vengeful, saying he could not accept Fiengo’s independence or her decision to keep the baby.
Justice After Nearly Three Years
Fiengo’s family expressed relief after the verdict, though the pain remains. “We’ve been waiting a long time for this,” her aunt told local media. “It doesn’t bring her back, but at least he’s not out hurting other people.”
Facing the Death Penalty
With the conviction secured, the court moved into the penalty phase this week. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, citing the premeditated and merciless nature of the killing.
For Fiengo’s family, the sentencing marks another emotional chapter in their pursuit of justice. Her life — and that of her unborn child — was stolen by someone she once trusted. While the verdict offers closure, the tragedy of that November night continues to haunt those who loved her.
