The 28-year-old man arrested for being involved in a deadly carjacking in Florida that left a woman dead reportedly claimed he was given $1,500 to deliver the victim to another individual.
In addition, Jordanish Torres-Garcia also told law enforcement that before the incident, someone gave him an unloaded AR-15, according to an affidavit obtained by WKMG . Initially labeled as a person of interest, he was charged with carjacking resulting in death following his arrest last week.
Video of the April 11 incident released by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office shows a man authorities have identified as Torres-Garcia pointing the firearm at the driver, 31-year-old Katherine Altagarcia Guerrero De Aguasvivas, before getting onto the back seat of her vehicle.
Behind De Aguasvivas’ white Dodge Durango was a green Acura that kept hitting her truck before the carjacking. Speaking with investigators, Torres-Garcia confessed to being the man in the footage, according to court records. The accused said he and another suspect trailed her until they reached a red light in Winter Springs, about 17 miles from Orlando.
