Oh my gosh! It is so eerie seeing them pull the long hoodie out of the bag!!!

Two of the LE looked around at the moment it was pulled out, imo,.

 

[moonlessnight]

nope - i agree. the nose-chin angles are exact. and the slope of the forehead/head height/hair.

If it isn't the suspect, he does a real good job of looking like him from all the three closest angles I could compare to the screen shots. And he does look caught and not indignant, then that jacket he had on, the sleeves, the buttons or clips, similar style to some of the shots. The curve of his face from his jaw, chin and lips, dead on to the some of the shots, best I can tell, cheek bone too. And the ear too. But you know sometimes if you say a word over and over again it starts sounding strange and loses its meaning, it's the same with these images too, after a while, you lose perspective on them.

it looks like they folded up a large black jacket with a zipper.

Oh my gosh! It is so eerie seeing them pull the long hoodie out of the bag!!!

 

[moonlessnight]

well they are doing more than questioning him then.

Wow. Wow wow wow. I was just about to go to bed, but it looks like that isn’t happening now!

This is sad, my heart goes out to the family.

“When my husband and brother died, it was like my life was taken for no reason,” Felton told Bay News 9. “I didn’t do anything.”


Felton told Bay News 9 that her husband, Sylvester Penny, a musician and a cook at Bern’s Steakhouse, had been preoccupied with making sure she was OK in the wake of her brother’s death. She thinks he may have known he was sick but did not share it with her.

Tina Felton buried her brother, Ronnie, left, the fourth Seminole Heights murder victim, on Nov. 25. Now she faces having to bury her husband of 29 years, Sylvester Penny, right. Bay News 9

Reports through Twitter news sources say family members of the victims are arriving at the press conference.

If it is him (hopefully) they must have immediate evidence processed already to secure guilt. Also rumors he confessed though, too, so we’ll see in 2 minutes!!!

Howell Emanuel Donaldson, III

 

[SleuthyLou]

His FB profile and common name he goes by is Trai Donaldson (since “tres” means the 3rd and he is the III).

 

[moonlessnight]

why did those co-workers never call police before?

 

[SleuthyLou]

I hope they have the right guy. Otherwise, the shooter is still at large.

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