Investigation Focuses On Individuals Linked To Homestead Woman’s Fatal Carjacking
DEBARYLIFE – An underground network of drug trafficking that spans Florida and Puerto Rico was uncovered during the intense investigation into the murder carjacking of a Homestead lady who was ambushed at a red light in Central Florida.
Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas was carjacked on April 11 by a masked guy brandishing a semiautomatic gun at her as she was parked at a junction close to Winter Springs, a Seminole County suburban neighborhood.
Katherine had driven from Homestead. Guerrero De Aguasvivas was discovered dead later that evening in her burnt-out Dodge Durango at a construction site in Osceola County, which is located just south of Orlando.
Five people have been detained thus far in the investigation. Here is a list of the main players in the case.
Juan de Aguasvivas Guerrero
Concerning Guerrero De Aguasvivas hardly much is known. Five years ago, the Homestead woman departed her home Dominican Republic, according to Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma. She was wed to Miguel Angel Aguasvivas, the owner of Florida City’s Miguelito Barber Shop.
Guerrero De Aguasvivas, who obtained his nail technician license in 2022, was employed for a considerable amount of time at the Dominican Beauty Room Salon & Spa located in Florida City.
The Homestead woman’s internet activities provide an infrequent but exclusive window into some aspects of her life. Her Facebook page indicates that she may be the mother of two children, one of whom is a five-year-old daughter.
Torres-Garcia
Due to his ownership of the green 2002 Acura linked to both the murder of a tow truck driver in Orange County the day prior and the tragic kidnapping of Guerrero De Aguasvivas, Jordanish Torres-Garcia, 28, came to the attention of authorities. According to a federal complaint, he acknowledged to FBI officials that he was the masked carjacker seen on camera.
Torres-Garcia admitted to agents during questioning that, before the carjacking, he had met with someone who had given him an AR-15 gun and $1,500 in exchange for Guerrero De Aguasvivas being delivered to “another individual.”
Torres-Garcia and the feds have a past. He entered a guilty plea to a federal gun crime in 2016 and was given a sentence of three years in prison and an additional three years of probation. Due to multiple infractions, Torres-Garcia was still on probation at the time of the kidnapping.
Ocasio-Justiniano
Lemma claims that Kevin Omar Ocasio-Justiniano, 28, is thought to have been operating the Acura during the ambush. How the alleged getaway driver was discovered by agents during the carjacking investigation is unknown.

A federal complaint claims that Ocasio-Justiniano, also known by the gang name “Kevo,” is a well-known narcotics dealer and member of the Orlando 6’s gang. He was apprehended in Puerto Rico and is being jailed on a separate federal warrant for the possession of automatic weapons and drug trafficking.
According to court documents, Ocasio-Justiniano has been under police scrutiny for drug, burglary, and assault charges since 2020. He was on Florida probation at the time of the deadly carjacking due to a 2023 battery conviction.
Hernandez Crespo
On state accusations of fentanyl trafficking and marijuana with intent to sell, Crespo Hernandez—whom authorities said was among the final individuals Guerrero De Aguasvivas spoke to while driving on I-4 around downtown Orlando—is being jailed without bond.

At this time, he is not being prosecuted for Guerrero De Aguasvivas’ carjacking.
A complaint claims that in 2020, a Homeland Security investigation in the Miami area focused on Crespo Hernandez, and as a result, agents seized more than $300,000. In addition, he has a history of involvement in drug trafficking and is being investigated for “a series of home invasions and homicides.”
Romero Soto
Monicsabel Romero Soto, 28, the live-in girlfriend of Crespo Hernandez, is accused by federal authorities of accepting delivery of three bricks of cocaine, valued at $60,000, that was discovered in a lamp within a shipment that was shipped from Puerto Rico to a house in St. Cloud, Osceola County.

The assistant
An Orange County deputy named Francisco Estrella Chicon is charged with gaining unauthorized access to the primary Seminole County detective’s personal and professional records and disclosing those records to Guerrero De Aguasvivas’ spouse.

Aguasvivas’s childhood buddy is Estrella Chicon’s wife. The deputy was employed in September 2022, but while the criminal case is pending, he has been removed from his duties without pay.
Estrella Chicon told reporters, “Somehow they’ve implicated me with all these heinous crimes.” “All I want is to regain my life.”
Aquasvivas
The Homestead woman’s husband, Aguasvivas, is not now charged with anything. However, Sheriff Lemma informed reporters early on in the investigation that he was “skeptical” of Aguasvivas’ cooperation.

Subsequent analysis showed that wasn’t the case. Lemma claims that Guerrero De Aguasvivas called her husband before the carjacking and told him that she was being followed by a car.
Aguasvivas told his wife, who was shot and killed that same day, “Don’t stop, don’t stop, anywhere.”
