Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas, 31, was killed during a carjacking on April 11, 2024, in Winter Springs, Seminole County. While driving from Homestead to Central Florida her Dodge Durango was rammed by a green Acura at East Lake Drive and Tuskawilla Road. A masked gunman, later identified as Jordanish Torres-Garcia, emerged, carjacked her at gunpoint and forced her to follow the Acura to a remote construction site in the Boggy Creek area of Kissimmee.

At the site she was shot multiple times with a 10mm weapon and her body and SUV were set on fire using lighter fluid. Investigators say the carjacking was part of a conspiracy to steal $170,000 Guerrero De Aguasvivas was carrying; she had called her husband, Miguel, to say she was being followed before the attack. Four people — Giovany Joel Crespo Hernandez, Jordanish Torres-Garcia, Kevin Ocasio Justiniano and Dereck Rodriguez Bonilla — have been indicted on federal charges including carjacking resulting in death, kidnapping and use of a firearm in a crime resulting in death.

The probe links the same gun to the earlier killing of tow truck driver Juan Luis Cintron-Garcia. Miguel Angel Aguasvivas Lizardo, the victim’s husband, was later arrested on a federal money laundering conspiracy charge and is accused of acting as a courier for drug money related to the trip.
