Deadly Florida carjacking suspect was paid $1,500 to ‘deliver’ victim, complaint says

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A suspect in a deadly carjacking was paid $1,500 to “deliver” the victim, according to a federal criminal complaint.

Jordanish Torres-Garcia is facing a federal charge of carjacking resulting in death.

Torres-Garcia allegedly admitted to being the person who exited a green Acura on April 11 and approached the vehicle of Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvias, 31, with an AR-15. He said he got the AR-15 from an unnamed person near Lake Drive in Casselberry about 30 minutes before the carjacking, according to the complaint.

Torres-Garcia made the admissions in a recorded interview with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, according to the complaint.

“GARCIA stated that minutes before the carjacking, he received a call, advising him that the VICTIM was on her way,” the complaint reads.

Torres-Garcia “bumped” Aguasvias’ vehicle to try and get it to stop, according to the complaint. When the car stopped at a red light at the intersection of East Lake Drive and Tuskawilla Road in Winter Springs, Garcia got out of the car with the AR-15.
