On June 18, 2014, after spending nearly 16 years on Missouri’s death row, John E. Winfield was executed by lethal injection at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Corrections Center in Bonne Terre, Missouri. He was 43 years old. This true crime documentary examines the violent chain of events that began on a September evening in 1996 in University City, Missouri — a confrontation fueled by jealousy, control, and domestic abuse that ended with two women murdered and a third permanently blinded. John Winfield could not accept that his ex-girlfriend, Carmelita Donald, had moved on with her life. Armed with a handgun, he confronted her outside her home and opened fire, killing Arthea Sanders and Shawnee Murphy at close range and shooting Carmelita in the head, destroying her eyesight forever. In this video, we break down the crime scene, the investigation, the trial, the death sentence, and John Winfield’s final hours — including his decision to decline a last meal and his final moments before execution. We also explore the deeper issues of domestic violence, possessive control, and how rejection escalated into execution-style murder. This is the full story of jealousy, abuse, and a death row execution that took nearly two decades to carry out. #TrueCrime #DeathRow #Execution #DeathPenalty #DomesticViolence #JealousyKills #TrueCrimeDocumentary #MissouriExecution #LethalInjection #CrimeDocumentary #WomenOfFelonies #CrimeStories #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeServed #DeathRowInmate #TrueCrimeCases #Executed #ViolenceAgainstWomen
