Arrests made in investigation into Homestead woman’s deadly carjacking
The sprawling investigation into the bizarre murder spans several counties and now includes detectives with several sheriff’s offices and federal agents with the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations.
Seminole County Sheriff’s Office is searching for Katherine Aguasvias, who SCSO says was in the Dodge Durango, license plate KVFF22, when she was carjacked at East Lake Drive and Tuskawilla Road in the Winter Springs area Thursday around 6 p.m.
Jordanish Torres-Garcia, 28, was taken into custody Friday in Orange County on an existing federal weapons possession warrant.
That Durango was found later that day in a construction site, torched, with a woman’s body burned inside. Police believe the woman is Aguasvivas, who was 31.
Witnesses said they heard multiple gunshots before the grisly scene was discovered and spent bullet casings were found on the ground.
The carjacker came out of the green Acura behind the Dodge. SCSO says anyone seeing either car should dial 911 or the sheriff’s Office at 407-665-6650.
