TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A McDonald’s manager will get a $110,000 reward for tipping off police about a man accused of killing four people and terrorizing a Florida neighborhood for 51 days.
Tampa police chief Brian Dugan said at a news conference Friday that Delonda Walker will receive “every penny” of the reward money. Her tip to police on Tuesday led to the arrest of 24-year-old Howell Emanuel Donaldson III.
Donaldson is charged with four counts of first-degree murder. His victims were apparently randomly shot during October and November.

Donaldson worked at the McDonald’s. He left his loaded gun in the restaurant.
In a statement, Walker said getting a reward never entered her mind. She said she simply “wanted to do the right thing.”
“I can’t thank the person who called us about the gun in the bag enough for standing up and doing the right thing,” Dugan said in a recent press conference.
