Per Rob Dauster of College Basketball Talk, Donaldson was a walk-on for the St. John's Red Storm during the 2011-12 season, although he did not appear in any games.

Donaldson graduated from St. John's University this year.

According to Altman, Donaldson is suspected of murdering 22-year-old Benjamin Mitchell, 32-year-old Monica Hoffa, 20-year-old Anthony Naiboa and 60-year-old Ronald Felton in Tampa's Seminole Heights neighborhood.
