The surveillance video revealed that Wendy Daniel arrived at the location in a gray sedan driven by 43-year-old Ron Adam Donaldson, a Miami Beach resident employed as a life insurance agent. The footage showed both individuals exiting the vehicle unclothed. As Wendy attempted to stand, Donaldson grabbed her and shot her once in the head before fleeing the scene in his car.

Following the identification of Donaldson through the surveillance footage, he was arrested at his Miami Beach condominium and charged with second-degree murder. Further investigations linked him to at least five other sexual assault cases in the Miami-Dade area. In February 2023, an additional charge of armed sexual battery was filed against Donaldson, related to a separate incident on June 15, 2022.
