Deputies investigating the carjacking and death of a Florida woman say the suspect vehicle is linked to the truck driver’s slaying.

The car driven by the attackers in the kidnapping and murder of a woman in Seminole County, Florida, is linked to the killing of a tow truck driver, authorities said.

Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma said investigators found a green Acura that followed Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas, 31, before she was abducted from an Orange County apartment complex over the weekend.

The vehicle was “parked and abandoned,” Lemma said at a news conference Monday. It was towed and taken to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office to be evaluated for evidence.

Investigators are looking for people who were in the Acura but were able to disclose information about it. Lemma told reporters that after the consecutive sales, he believes the car was on the street since February without registration and that any number plate of the car would have been stolen.

On March 19, before the fatal carjacking, the car was towed from an Orlando apartment complex because it was parked illegally, Lemma said.

Investigators determined that the driver of the truck pulling the Acura, Juan Luis Cintron Garcia, 39, was killed about a month later, on April 10.

Lemma said that Garcia was shot and that more than 100 bullets were found at the scene, along with a green car matching the description of the Acura.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said Garcia’s death is under investigation.

“We are still in the early stages of this apparent homicide investigation, but we can tell you that this was not a random act and that detectives believe Mr. Cintron Garcia was targeted,” a spokesman said in an emailed statement. “We have no information on the suspect or the motive.”

Lemma said he “absolutely” believes the deaths of Garcia and De Aguasvivas are connected.

“But we will have to have concrete evidence that proves that,” he told reporters on Monday.

Cell phone video from Thursday captured the Acura behind De Aguasvivas’ white Dodge Durango at a red light in Seminole County. The video showed a heavily armed man getting into the back seat of his car. He drove away as soon as the light turned green, and the Acura followed.

Lemma said the gunman was wearing a black hat and a “ski-type mask” and was carrying what appeared to be an automatic rifle. He said that it was not a random incident and that the attackers “knew exactly who they were after.”

The SUV, so badly burned that “you couldn’t recognize the car” was found in a construction site two hours after the carjacking, Lemma said. A body believed to be that of De Aguasvivas was found inside, according to Lemma, who said DNA and dental records were needed to confirm the identity.

Twelve shell casings were also found at the scene.

Shortly before the carjacking, De Aguasvivas had called her husband to tell him that someone had hit the back of his car and was following him. Her husband told her not to stop, but she didn’t call 911, Lemma said.

She said the husband is cooperating with the investigation but she accused him of hiding information. The husband had told detectives that his wife, of Homestead in Miami-Dade County, was in Seminole County visiting family members.

“You don’t have your wife contact you that you get hit by a car and go two hours without calling anyone,” Lemma said at a press conference Monday. “So he’s cooperated; he’s given a statement. I think the original story was that he was visiting family members. I don’t know if we believe that. … I think there are a lot more opportunities that he could have helped fill in.”

The husband is not a person of interest or a suspect, Lemma said.

In another case, an Orange County sheriff’s deputy was arrested and charged with five counts of leaking information about the case to De Aguasvivas’ husband.

The deputy, Francisco Estrella, allegedly gave the man more information about the Seminole County investigation, including the home address of the lead detective. Lemma said Estrella’s wife is a family friend of De Aguasvivas’ husband.

Estrella was charged with obstructing a criminal investigation, unlawful disclosure of communications, unauthorized access to an electronic device, use of a two-way communication device to facilitate a crime and wiretapping.

A call to a number listed for Estrella was not answered Tuesday afternoon, and it was unclear if she had an attorney.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said he has been relieved of all legal duties without pay pending an investigation.
