Something Very Odd with the Story About the Seminole Heights Shooting Arrest

by Scott Creighton

“Why would Donaldson leave the weapon at the restaurant, with his manager? That was one of the questions police did not answer after the arrest.” Tampabay.com

A suspect has been arrested in the Seminole Heights serial murder case which has taken the lives of 4 Tampa residents very near where I live.

What did he expect his manager to do with a loaded gun? And why give someone the ONLY PIECE OF HARD EVIDENCE OF HIS CRIME and then simply walk across the street, letting that MANAGER KNOW he would be back in a few minutes?

They said he went to Amscot but since I live down here I started thinking I didn’t remember an Amscot in that area. So I Googled it and this is what I found (the star is the location of the McDonald’s):

They supposedly got the tip at 2:40pm and those cops are already there with tape already strung up. It gets dark around here at about 6pm so there is no way any tests could have been done on that weapon prior to them roping off the scene.

So they don’t know a motive or any possible connection to the area of the attacks which makes it hard to understand how he could have confessed without giving them that much information at least.

And then there is this:

Dugan said at a news conference earlier in the day that officers had recovered a gun but that it wasn’t yet known whether it was the gun used in one or more of the recent killings.

Angelique DuPree, Mitchell’s cousin, said in an interview that an arrest “would bring closure and relief, relief for us, but more so for the city itself, because it’s been on pins and needles.”

“Even if it’s not the guy, just to know they got somebody with a gun off the street is a good thing,” DuPree said. NBC News published less than an hour ago

If he confessed, wouldn’t they know it was the gun? Wouldn’t they have known by the time Dugan gave his press conference? Would he have said something like “even if it’s not the guy”?

This is totally bizarre.

Now, it’s been hard to find the official arrest affidavit in this case. I saw a reporter with a copy on one this morning but was having trouble finding it online but I did find it. Only, when you click on the Scribd link to read it close up… it’s been pulled of that site.

So, I took screenshots of the small viewer on the WTSP website.

This is what it looks like:
