    It’s amazing how he wants mercy but wasn’t able to provide that to the victims. Pisses me off when they do this!

    I drove for Lyft in the Tampa Bay area at night time from 2016-2020. Lived over in Clearwater across the Bay (SR-60 Courtney Campbell). I would always start my nights at the Tampa International Airport and then would always try to make my way over to the bar district (South Howard Avenue) or (Ybor City) right when the bars were closing due to the surge rates. Howell Donaldson worked nights over at the McDonald's over there in Ybor City. He would get off work around between 4:30 a.m. - 5 a.m. in the morning. I would usually get stuck over in that area receiving ride requests. I picked him up 3 times after he got off work after getting a Lyft requests from that McDonald's. (He was having car problems at the time with his Red Ford Mustang). I vividly remember picking him up because he used to live in Town 'N' Country off of Millwood Drive. I was excited because his particular ride / fare would bring me closer to my destination home because I would try to end my nights around that time before the morning rush hour traffic would pick up. I would joke with him thanking him for bringing me closer to home jokingly telling him he was doing me a favor. We made small talk. He was relatively quiet but somewhat polite. When the news broke and they identified him as the culprit behind these murders I couldn't believe it. It was such a tense time period living in the Tampa Bay area during this time period.
