Sheriff Confirms Arrest of Person of Interest in Homestead Woman’s Murder

Seminole County, Florida – Dennis Lemma, the sheriff of Seminole County, gave a status report on the investigation into the death of a 31-year-old Homestead woman in his county on Friday afternoon.

Before her death, Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas was abducted and carjacked.

Lemma declared that Jordanish Torres-Garcia, 28, a person of interest in the case, had been taken into custody on an active Orange County warrant. Authorities established a connection between him and the green Acura that was used in the incident.

Lemma declared, “He won’t be let go.” “This investigation will continue, and he will be detained on federal charges.”

Lemma claimed that the authorities were able to identify him because of a Facebook Marketplace transaction involving the car.

Torres-Garcia may be seen in a video that was shot during the carjacking, according to the sheriff.

According to Lemma, authorities were also searching for Giovany Joel Crespo Hernandez, another person who may be connected to the case.

He is the last person the Homestead woman spoke to on the phone before her kidnapping and death, according to the sheriff’s office and people close to the case.

According to deputies, he is also wanted on other narcotics charges.

Guerrero De Aguasvivas was in central Florida to “deliver money and other stuff for a friend,” according to information her brother gave authorities, Lemma said on Friday.

After allegedly breaking into law enforcement databases to give the victim’s husband case details, a sheriff’s officer in nearby Orange County has already been taken into custody.

The murder of a tow truck driver the day before is also believed to be connected to this killing.
