Man convicted on all counts for killing young Orange County mother, leaving her child in hot car in 2021<\/p>\n

\"MadilynORANGE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

A man accused of killing a mother, shooting her boyfriend, and leaving their 1-year-old daughter in a hot car to die was convicted on all counts Thursday. <\/p>\n

Doujon Griffith was convicted of the following:<\/p>\n

Background<\/p>\n

The State Attorney\u2019s Office said Griffiths shot and killed 20-year-old Massania Malcom after shooting her boyfriend.<\/p>\n

Investigators said Malcom\u2019s 1-year-old daughter, Jordania, was left in a hot car and was found dead alongside her mother\u2019s body two days later in a parking lot on Lake Ellenor Drive.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, Griffiths had been staying at the couple’s apartment. They say the couple had taken him in after he became homeless.<\/p>\n

Investigators said tension may have grown between Malcom and Griffiths over his lack of contribution to the household.<\/p>\n

On the morning of Sept. 7, 2021, the couple reportedly told Griffiths he had to leave and were driving him to a bus stop when he allegedly shot them. Malcom\u2019s boyfriend survived and shared details of the incident with investigators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man convicted on all counts for killing young Orange County mother, leaving her child in hot car in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":418808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[53401,1579,2353,123434,7740,23829,17444,34137,32786,120516,7441,163886,2391,165602,139,141,140,6272],"class_list":["post-418807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-boyfriend","tag-building","tag-child","tag-contribution","tag-count","tag-couple","tag-daughter","tag-first-degree-murder","tag-griffiths","tag-hot-car","tag-investigator","tag-malcom","tag-man","tag-orange-county-mother","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-state-attorney"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=418807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=418807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=418807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=418807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
