Biography

Lorenzo Fayne was born on April 2, 1971, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He grew up in a challenging environment characterized by poverty and crime, with both parents having legal issues and substance abuse problems. This unstable upbringing included physical abuse from his parents and psychological trauma stemming from a sexual assault he experienced at the age of seven. His childhood was marked by significant difficulties, leading to academic failure and eventual school dropout. Between 1984 and 1989, he faced multiple arrests for various crimes, including robbery and auto theft, which resulted in time spent in juvenile facilities where he also suffered abuse.

In 1989, after his release from juvenile detention, Fayne moved to East St. Louis, Illinois, to live with his grandmother. This relocation marked a significant change in his life but did not lead to an improvement in his behavior or circumstances.

Crimes Committed

Fayne first came under police scrutiny following the murder of 17-year-old Faith Davis on July 23, 1993. Davis was raped and stabbed in her apartment, which was subsequently set on fire by the assailant to destroy evidence. Witnesses identified Fayne as the suspect based on their observations during the incident. Upon investigation of his home and clothing for blood evidence, police found incriminating material that led to further interrogation.

During this process, it was revealed that Fayne’s fingerprints matched those found at the scene of another murder – specifically that of Aree Hunt, a six-year-old boy who had been killed four years earlier. Confronted with this evidence, Fayne confessed not only to Hunt’s murder but also to several others: Latondra Dean (14), Fallon Flood (9), Glenda Jones (17), and Faith Davis (17). His confessions indicated a pattern of violence against young victims within close proximity to his residence.

He told police he sneaked up to Scott and bashed her head with a rock with such force that the rock broke in two. He then dragged her body through a gangway between a factory and house, continued to beat her with the chunk of rock he still had in his hand, then had sex with her once she was dead.

Flood's body was found on the floor of a local high school in an abandoned locker room with a belt tightened around her neck and her underwear around her ankles. Lorenzo's statement admitting to the murder of Flood was introduced into evidence. In that statement, Lorenzo admitted that he choked Flood and attempted to rape her.

Glenda Jones died as a result of stab wounds. Her body was badly decomposed when it was found. Jones's body was clothed, but her bra was turned inside out. Lorenzo's statement, in which he admitted that he stabbed Jones and had sex with her, was admitted into evidence.   In that statement, Lorenzo stated that he first approached Jones with a knife but that later she consented to sex with Lorenzo. According to Lorenzo, Jones even discussed starting a relationship with him. However, something “snapped” in Lorenzo, and he ended up stabbing Jones.

Faith Davis's nude body was found face-down bent over a coffee table with her knees on the floor and her legs spread apart. She had several stab wounds in her upper chest and back.   The crime scene indicated that she died in one area and then was dragged over to the coffee table. A large amount of petroleum jelly was spread on her buttocks, and she had been sexually assaulted. Lorenzo's statement admitting to stabbing Davis and then returning to sexually assault her was introduced into evidence.

Latonda Dean's nude body was found lying in a bathtub. She died as a result of 24 stab wounds, mainly in her chest and abdomen. Lorenzo's statement admitting that he raped and stabbed Dean was admitted into evidence.

Trial and Sentencing

Fayne’s trial began in early 1994 for the murder of Aree Hunt. The prosecution sought the death penalty due to the heinous nature of his crimes; however, despite an 11-1 jury vote favoring death sentencing, he received a life sentence without parole because unanimity was required for capital punishment.

Afterward, he faced additional trials for the other murders based on his confessions and corroborating evidence. In 2001, he was sentenced to death again; however, this sentence was commuted by Illinois Governor George Ryan in January 2003 due to concerns about wrongful convictions associated with capital punishment.

Current Status

As of now, Lorenzo Fayne is serving a life sentence without parole at Menard Correctional Center following the commutation of his death sentence.
