Masked man involved in a carjack says he was paid $1,500 to kidnap her and drop her off – before she was found dead in a burned-out vehicle

A man questioned over his involvement in a carjack-murder in Orlando has admitted to authorities that he was paid $1,500 to kidnap her and deliver her to another individual – yet her body was found hours later in her torched vehicle.

The 31-year-old Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas was driving north from Homestead, Florida , on 11 April at around 4pm when her white Dodge Durango was rammed from behind by a green Acura.

When she came to a red traffic light in Winter Springs, a masked man in a hoodie was caught on camera by a witness jumping out of the vehicle at a traffic stop and pointing a black rifle at Aguasvivas.

Jordanish Torres-Garcia identified himself to investigators as the armed masked man but claims that his weapon, an AR-15, was not loaded and was given to him just half an hour before the carjacking took place, according to an affidavit filed Thursday obtained by The Independent.

However, Mr Garcia appeared to suggest that the carjacking was premeditated, as he said he was paid $1,500 to deliver her to a mystery individual, who was not identified in the court documents.
