According to police, Faison wanted Fiengo to terminate her pregnancy, but she refused. Police believe that was the motive for her death.
Fiengo, who was 18 when she died, was found shot in the driver’s seat of a car at Coastline Park in Sanford.
Following Faison’s conviction, the victim’s aunt, Tatiana Fiengo, said she was relieved that “justice was finally served.
“She was so brave. She was so funny, so forgiving. She was such a forgiving, funny girl,” Tatiana Fiengo told News 6. “And we all miss her. It’s not the same in our family. There’s always something missing.”
