Donna Mathews and Michael Gayan

As seen on Season 24 of Oxygen's Snapped, Donna Mathews was convicted of the first degree murder of her former boyfriend, Michael Gayan. She claimed he stalked and threatened her, however her planning of the murder was meticulous.

Her brother, Derrick was sentenced to seven years in prison for assisting her with the murder.

She was sentenced to life in prison.

According to Kenosha News, Donna Matthews was convicted of killing Gayan, shooting him to death at his home near the Kenosha lakefront on July 4, 2016. She has maintained that she was driven to kill Gayan because he was stalking her and had threatened to kill her and members of her family.

Derrick Matthews, who at his sister’s trial said Gayan behaved “as a man possessed,” helped his sister carry out her plan, in part by providing the handgun she used, and by driving her to and from Gayan’s home the night she killed him.
