Man Claims He Was Given Money to Kidnap and Deliver Woman Later Found Dead in Burning SUV

Katherine Altagracia Guerrero de Aguasvivas was found dead in her Dodge Durango on April 11

A man being questioned about a Florida woman that was found dead following an armed carjacking is now saying he was paid to kidnap her.

On April 11, at approximately 4 p.m. local time, Katherine Altagracia Guerrero de Aguasvivas, 31, was driving north from Homestead when a green Acura rammed her SUV from behind.

After being carjacked at gunpoint, Aguasvivas' body was later found inside her Dodge Durango, which had been set on fire.

PEOPLE previously reported that Jordanish Torres-Garcia, 28, was a person of interest in the case, and had been arrested on unrelated charges.

Torres-Garcia, who authorities said they believed to be the person that bought the green Acura, has now told investigators that he was the masked man seen on camera pointing the gun at Aguasvivas.

However, per court documents filed by an FBI agent in federal court in Orlando on April 24, Torres-Garcia claimed he'd been paid to kidnap and deliver her to somebody else, the Associated Press and local outlets WSVN and WKMG reported.

The federal affidavit also stated Torres-Garcia claimed he was given the gun used in the carjacking, per WKMG, stating someone met him 30 minutes before the attack in the Lake Drive area in Casselberry, and handed him an AR-15, per the court documents. He said the weapon was not loaded.

The outlet stated Torres-Garcia told investigators he was paid $1,500 to take Aguasvivas to the person, who was not identified in the court documents. He was told in court on April 25 that he's facing a charge of carjacking resulting in death, per WKMG.

Torres-Garcia's attorney didn't immediately respond when contacted by PEOPLE.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office confirmed on Facebook on April 23 that person of interest Giovany Joel Crespo Hernandez, 27, had turned himself in on an active warrant for Fentanyl trafficking and marijuana with intent to sell. Hernandez is thought to be the last person the victim spoke to before she was killed.

They also confirmed person of interest Kevin Ocasio Justiniano, 28, believed to be the driver of the green Acura, had been taken into custody in Puerto Rico on unrelated drug trafficking and weapons charges amid the ongoing investigation.

As PEOPLE previously reported, Aguasvivas called her husband, Miguel, from Winter Springs in Seminole County to tell him she was being followed before her car was rammed by the green Acura toward the intersection of East Lake Drive and Tuskawilla Road on April 11.

In broad daylight, a man wearing a black mask and wielding a gun emerged from the Acura and approached the driver's side of the woman's car while she was stopped at a red light, before presumably ordering her to let him in.

The Acura continued to follow the SUV after the man got into the back of the car. An hour and 45 minutes later, authorities received a 911 call about a car burning in Osceola County. Seminole sheriff’s deputies found Aguasvivas's body inside.
