They weren't. None of the known members of the mob that killed Joseph Smith were in the Donner Party.

The Donner Party did have two families which had connections to Mormonism. There has been some disagreement as to whether they were practicing Mormons or if they had left the religion at an earlier time, but none of them were party to the murder of Joseph Smith.

Why Were the murderers of Joseph Smith traveling with the Donner Party?

There has never been any definitive proof that any of those who participated in the assassination of Joseph Smith found their way into the doomed Donner Party. The men who participated in the prophet's martyrdom called themselves the Carthage Grays. It may never be known who actually fired the shots that killed Joseph and his brother, Hyrum; the shots were fired both from the stairway immediately outside the room where they were staying, and from the grounds below the window of that room. There have been stories over the years that some members of the Grays made their way west, but no documentation exists that any of the Donner Party were members of that mob.
