According to his Facebook page, Donaldson was born in Charlotte, North Carolina. The page does not appear to have been updated since 2015 when Donaldson says he graduated from St. Johns University in New York. Donaldson says he attained a degree in computer science.

In 2011, Donaldson graduated from Alonso High School in Tampa. Donaldson played as a guard for the schools varsity basketball team, according to Max Preps. Donaldson has a profile at St. Johns basketball webpage, that bio does not say if Donaldson ever played for the schools team. Donaldson had a separate profile while at St. Johns that explains that he uses the nickname Trai because he is third generation. He adds that he was raised in Tampa. Donaldson concludes by saying, I love basketball and plan on walking on for St. Johns basketball team.

The composite that had been released by Tampa PD is amazingly similar to Howell Donaldson's appearance.

Once again..The one for the killer of Dontae Lampkims? I completely agree. I imagine he will be charged with his murder as well. The MOs are so similar.

Yes!
So glad he's been arrested. So sad that he seems to have a close family with a family business.
Tampa police announce arrest of Seminole Heights murder suspect
Speculation of an arrest in the killings quickly spread. A crowd gathered in the parking lot. Police Chief Brian Dugan gave a press conference to quell any excitement of an arrest while also expressing cautious optimism.
Hours later, his feelings were validated.
"When I think I found out there was a gun, and when we looked at his description, it was a little ore than what we really had," he said. "It just felt right. I kinda had a feeling that we were going to get a break."
Investigators are still determining Donaldson's connection to the neighborhood, Dugan said.
"We're not sure why he was in this neighborhood," he said. "We're not aware what he ties are and we don't know what his motive is. But there is a lot more to go."
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn described the killings as a battle between good and evil.
"Well tonight, goodness has won," he said. "Tonight, in the battle between darkness and light, light has won."
Where did you see that information? Asking for a reason, thanks.

Heres some facts that Ive been thinking about...HD works or worked at McDonald's. The McDonalds location is open 24 hours. So work hours could be anytime. The red car is his dads. So his dad either gave it to him or he was just borrowing it today and normally uses different transportation. The big question is why the specific small area for the murders. Well, here is a map of the city bus routes. The red dot is McDonalds. The yellow dot is where he lives. The small pink dots are the murders. Notice bus route 9. Maybe they were committed on way to or from work, especially since its a 24 hour location. I am too sleepy to look into it tonight, but Im curious what times route 9 makes its stops and if he worked shifts on the same night/days of the murders. On a side note, I live in Tampa Bay Area. I feel sad for the parents. They live in a nice area by the bay and own their own business. This must be a terrible shock. View attachment 127047
This case deserved a break today!That will be good if this McDonald's tip leads to catching the criminal
