CARJACKING WAS CONSPIRACY OVER DRUG MONEY: FEDS

A grand jury has handed down indictments for four men accused of taking part in
a deadly carjacking and kidnapping plot in Central Florida back in April. FOX 35
has obtained new federal documents that detail what happened to Katherine
Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas on the day of her death.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. - FOX 35 has obtained new federal documents that detail
what happened to Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas on the day of her
death. 

The 31-year-old was carjacked at gunpoint in broad daylight in Seminole County
on April 11. The incident, which was captured on video by a witness, has made
national headlines as local authorities tried to piece together what happened to
the woman from Homestead on her way to Central Florida. 





WHO'S WHO IN DEADLY SEMINOLE COUNTY CARJACKING CASE

Now, the U.S. has filed a motion for detention in the U.S. District Court of the
Middle District Court of Florida, which reveals that four people were behind the
carjacking resulting in death – and they've all been charged accordingly. 



Initially, Jordanish Torres-Garcia was named as the alleged carjacker and the
person visible in the now-viral video of the incident, according to officials.
He appeared in court last week. 

Now, three other people – one of whom is a new man not previously mentioned in
the investigation until this point – have been indicted by a grand jury,
documents show. 

Here's who they are:

 * Jordanish Torres-Garcia, 28
 * Kevin Ocasio Justiniano, 27
 * Giovany Crespo Hernandez, 27
 * Dereck Alexis Rodriguez Bonilla, 21

All four suspects are from Orlando.

Office)

Here's what they're being charged with: 

 * Carjacking resulting in death
 * Kidnapping
 * Use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, causing death

It should be noted that early on in the investigation, the Seminole County
Sheriff's Office said Crespo Hernandez would not be charged with the actual
carjacking. Only Torres-Garcia and Ocasio Justiniano, at the time, were expected
to be charged for that. 

According to these documents, Torres-Garcia and Ocasio Justiniano "perpetrated"
the carjacking and kidnapping. Crespo Hernandez was charged federally this week
on unrelated drug charges after a search warrant was executed on his home amid
the investigation into Katherine's death. 

Now that the case has been handed off to the feds, they have brought forth these
new carjacking charges. As a result of the federal indictment, the state filed a
motion to keep the four suspects in custody before trial. 

"The government submits that each defendant poses a significant risk of flight
and a grave danger to this community if released," the motion said. 

Here are four things we learned from these new federal documents:


WHY WAS KATHERINE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA?

Early in the investigation, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said Katherine
was on her way from Homestead to Crespo Hernandez's Casselberry home to "deliver
money and other items." The federal documents made it clear that Katherine was
going to Crespo Hernandez's home to retrieve $170,000 of apparent illegal drug
trafficking proceeds. 

"Crespo Hernandez was engaged in the drug distribution business," the documents
said.

Office)

No other details about Katherine's alleged involvement in Crespo Hernandez's
"drug distribution business" were revealed in these documents. 


WHY WAS KATHERINE TARGETED?

As Katherine drove from Homestead to Casselberry, Crespo Hernandez called
Torres-Garcia "and conspired with him to rob and carjack (Katherine) for the
$170,000 after she retrieved it from Crespo Hernandez," the documents said. 

Torres-Garcia then allegedly recruited Ocasio Justiniano and Rodriguez Bonilla,
who had not been mentioned in the investigation up until the release of these
documents, into the "conspiracy."

Torres-Garcia and Ocasio Justiniano were caught on surveillance footage buying
lighter fluid at a gas station, which would eventually be poured on Katherine's
body, the documents said. 

The surveillance photos of the two men buying lighter fluid were included in the
federal documents.

HOW DID KATHERINE DIE?

Katherine drove at gunpoint to a remote construction area in the Boggy Creek
area of Kissimmee, the documents said. She was ordered to follow the green Acura
in front of her, which was being driven by Ocasio Justiniano, according to the
feds. 

They drove from the carjacking site – the intersection at Tuskawilla Road and
East Lake Drive in Winter Springs – to Kissimmee. It was a ride that took about
an hour, according to the documents. 

In the documents are surveillance photos showing the green Acura leading the
white Dodge Durango to Kissimmee.

Florida)

At the deserted construction area in Kissimmee, lighter fluid was poured on
Katherine's body, and she and her Dodge Durango SUV were shot multiple times,
according to prosecutors. 

She was reportedly shot using a 10mm gun that Ocasio Justiniano allegedly got
from Rodriguez Bonilla, the documents said. Prosecutors said Rodriguez Bonilla
denied providing the murder weapon and instead said he was there to "loan $80 to
Torres-Garcia."

Prosecutors said Katherine was then lit on fire inside the passenger seat of her
own vehicle. It remains unclear at this point if she was alive. 

Minutes later, surveillance video evidence in the federal documents shows
Torres-Garcia handing what appears to be cash to Rodriguez Bonilla.

Photos in the federal filing show Katherine's torched Dodge Durango.

The documents also state that the victim's body could be identified only by DNA
testing of her blood-stained and burned SUV. The Medical Examiner's Office has
not yet revealed Katherine's cause of death. 


IS KATHERINE'S DEATH LINKED TO THE SHOOTING DEATH OF A TOW TRUCK DRIVER?

Early on in the investigation into Katherine's death, the Seminole County
Sheriff's Office was able to link it to a shooting the day prior involving tow
truck driver Juan Luis Cintron-Garcia. The link was the green Acura – it was
involved in both incidents, according to authorities, although it was unclear
how. 

TOW TRUCK DRIVER KILLED IN TAFT SHOOTING

A tow truck driver who was killed in a deadly shooting last week is being
remembered by family and friends.

Cintron-Garcia towed the green Acura on March 19. 

About a month later – on April 10, the day before Katherine was carjacked and
killed – Cintron-Garcia returned to his home in Taft and got out of his truck,
where a green Acura stopped in the street near his driveway, the documents said.
That's when two men, one of which was Torres-Garcia, allegedly shot
Cintron-Garcia multiple times, causing his death. Over 100 rounds were fired at
him and his home. His family was inside.

The gun used to kill Cintron-Garcia was the same gun used to kill Katherine,
according to the documents. 

"After the shooting, one of the assailants was observed retrieving something
from (Cintron-Garcia's) truck before fleeing in the green Acura," the documents
said. 

What was grabbed and the identity of the second gunman was not revealed in the
federal documents.
