McDonald's manager to receive entire $110K reward for tip that led to Tampa murder suspect
Delonda Walker
Delonda Walker  alerted police Tuesday after suspect Howell Donaldson III  24  handed  her  a McDonald's food bag containing a .40-caliber Glock  which Tampa police later said matched the murder weapon used in all four shootings that occurred in the Seminole Heights neighborhood between Oct. 9 and Nov. 14.
Donaldson allegedly told  Walker  that he planned to leave the state.  Walker  then approached a police officer who happened to be at the Ybor City McDonald's to turn over the bag  officials said.
In a statement read by Buckhorn in a press conference Friday   Walker  said  "receiving a reward never entered my mind."
"I went to work on Tuesday intending to serve customers and do my job. The day turned out very differently "  she  said. "When confronted with this situation  I wanted to do the right thing and I reached out to a nearby police officer."
 Walker  said  she  is "grateful" that  she  was able to assist law enforcement but requested privacy amid the ongoing investigation.
"... I appreciate all the well wishes and kind words from our community "  she  said.
Buckhorn praised Walker for  her  actions.
" She  is what’s right about this city " Buckhorn said.
