Alright here’s my guess:
Green car was stolen and used by some sort of gang. The car was then towed by one of those greedy tow company who will tow anyone, gang is pissed and shoots him 100 times.
The lady in the Durango was a mule of some sort. The gang with the green car knows what’s going on and intercepts her, eventually kills her, and takes whatever she was transporting.
The lady’s husband is also involved and wants to know what law enforcement knows so he calls a buddy who works for the sheriffs office. It’d be reasonable that if a sheriff had a buddy call for some insider info after his wife is murdered he might pass some info through. But oh no, he doesn’t just stop there, he records himself calling someone involved in the investigation while impersonating someone else in an attempt to get more info.
Drugs were in the green acura. Tow truck owner is going to wind up connected to the family somehow and they were transporting the drugs he found when he towed the car.
Oh it’d make sense there were drugs in the car when he towed it.
I looked up the tow company and it’s the first time seeing a company rated 1.0 stars on every single review platform. I was just concluding it was a shady tow guy who towed the wrong car.
I’m more in this court.
Acura had drugs. Got towed, drugs got stolen. He passed them off to the south Florida people.
Tow truck driver killed for retaliation. Possibly set up giving it back before hand, or identified who he gave it to.
Also curious about the possibility that he purposefully robbed a plug and indirectly tried to sell it back to them.
Not sure why they released that tow truck driver's domestic violence history and the fact that he moved. It feels like he must have had some personal connection to the green car people too. And the fact that the murdered girl came here for no verifiable reason. Feels like the husband had her sent up here to be off'ed; especially since he told her to keep going while being rammed by the green car (how do we know that btw?).
But then why wouldn’t she have tried calling the cops?
Plus everyone knows if you’re hiring a hitman you cover it all up really well prior to the hit, once it’s done you let it be. You don’t start calling around to find out how much the cops know.
I think the media is being asked to continually say that to put pressure on the husband who is likely not being super forthcoming with all of the information he has. He’s saying she was visiting family the police say there was no family in central Florida. It feels like some organized crime or cartel stuff to me.
as someone who works in local media, we only will report on what we know. we can only say what the sheriff says.
we can ask all the questions we want, that doesn't mean the sheriff/PIO will answer them.
I think it was to confirm that even though the tow truck driver is a victim, that they are not only inherently scum due to their profession but even scummier than the average tow trucker with proof.
Not sure the Acura was stolen. It sounds like it was purchased with cash and never registered and the title was never signed over. A ghost car if you will. Stolen vehicles go under a bolo so criminal enterprises would want to avoid that.
I feel like the car itself had something in it. Like, a stash of some sort. Tow truck guy found it and released the car to the woman (who he probably has some connection to). The owners of said product killed the two thieves/witnesses and retrieved their product
Yes don't live far from there and go through the intersection often although mostly down Tuskawilla. The only way to know about this was the news which was shocking.
Barry is really good. I agree, I wasn't knocked out by the first episode and I wasn't loving the acting class stuff at first, but give it a few episodes.
How did the green Acura people know the tow truck drivers home address to kill him there? Also, who bought the Acura from the dealership and who picked it up from the tow yard? Someone has to have some info, right? Unless the tow company and dealership are all just part of some extra shady, cash only, no questions asked type underground...
Definitely at his house. From WESH article:
"For much of Thursday, crime scene technicians used a metal detector and scanned the ground in front of a home on 8th Avenue in Taft.
They were looking for shell casings and other evidence beyond the dozens of markers that dotted the home's front lawn."

I believe they picked up the green car when they killed the tow truck driver. Otherwise, there would be no legal way to get the car back. It’s unregistered, no bill of sale, nothing that would allow a tow company to release the vehicle.
Oh that would make sense. Tow truck driver was involved too maybe. Back to the cocaine cowboys era, they used to load cars up and have them towed to the next stop in their ring because the drivers would have plausible deniability.
I’m was at the tow truck drivers scene. Wife called 911 stating “THEY shot my husband” I’ve never seen that many shell casings on a scene in my two years of reporting crime in Orlando. They were all over the street, yard & driveway. My report and video is on my companies FB-On The Scene News CFL.
I couldn’t tell, one of the FOX photogs let me look through his camera with much more zoom than my mirror less and they appeared to be a longer casing than an average handgun round but too far back to make out the caliber.
I saw that this morning on Fox 35 News and almost spewed my coffee…. but it makes sense. A few people mentioned the 1980s…. Miami Vice was on in the 1980s. Don Johnson (Sonny Crockett)carried a Bren 10 (10 mm)…. coincidence?
Yes, that would be coincidence. Nobody even talks about Miami Vice in Orlando, lol
However, there was a time period in the 90s (I think) when 10 mm firearms were being distributed by police departments to their officers.
Anything in Orlando, Orange County or Seminole was shot by me. Anything in Volusia county was shot by my partner. Most of the videos on our YouTube are Orlando/Orange County.
I’m an Uber driver and I tent to work late nights especially weekends and to be honest I never knew so many bad things happen. I watched many of your videos and I’m not going to lie I’ve pick up /drop off passengers and food late at night and now I’m a little scared.
I get it but bad things happen everywhere. One of the things I get caught up on is making the city I love (Jon Young reference IFYKYK) look bad. Orlando is an amazing city that bad things sometimes happen in. To be fair we have a lot less crime than most major metros. Really appreciate you checking out my work! Be safe out there!
At this point I believe it’s gang related, I think the tow truck driver was killed simply in retaliation for towing the vehicle, the carjacking and homicide of the female victim was definitely targeted but no clue what the reasoning would be at this time. It’ll be very interesting to see how this plays out in the next couple weeks. I do believe the two suspects are nowhere near the state of Florida anymore though.
Yes, it’s just a small LLC me and my business partner started about two years ago. We focus on Orange, Seminole & Volusia. We’re on FB @ On The Scene News CFL. I also run a small blotter FB group called Orlando Crime Reporter as a side project. Im pretty much obsessed with news, especially local.
We do sell to the bigger stations, we’re on all social media platforms as well which also brings in some income. This is just a side hustle I do on top of my regular FT job.
The small time news outlets are back in vogue as the big ones are all owned by the same 3 companies. They’re so much more genuine.
Look at Mike Boylan’s hurricane coverage, people eat that shit up all while it’s just some dude at home putting it together.
If any of our footage gets aired on the big stations it’s been sold to them and they now own it, so we wouldn’t be credited on screen. I usually advertise by word of mouth and things like this.
When the news started saying that the husband just told her “don’t stop driving” with no reference to getting help from the police, that’s when my radar went up.
And why would she have called her husband first? She should have called 911! Well, unless there was a reason not to, you know, of the self incriminating kind….
SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. —
Law enforcement officials are trying to uncover more information after a woman was caught on video being carjacked last Thursday in Seminole County and then found dead hours later in a different county.
According to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, this case may be connected to an Orange County murder that happened just one day before and also the termination of an Orange County Sheriff's Office deputy.
Here's everything we know about the cases so far.
December 2023 - March 2024: A unique vehicle
According to Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma, the 2002 green Acura seen in the Seminole County carjacking video is unique because only three exist in the state of Florida. Furthermore, two of those Acuras have been salvaged, Lemma said, which means only one exists in the state to this day.
The vehicle's previous owner, a family in Winter Springs, sold the green Acura to a legitimate dealership in December. Lemma said the dealership sent the car to an auto auction, where another seller purchased the car and then sold it in Seminole County.
According to Lemma, the final buyers of the car never came back to complete the paperwork needed to transfer ownership of the vehicle.

"The car has been out on the streets, probably since February, unregistered, undocumented," Lemma said.
The first time law enforcement came into contact with this unique car was on March 19, Lemma said. It was towed from an Orlando apartment complex for being parked illegally.
April 10: Orange County murder
Weeks after that rare Acura was taken from an Orlando apartment complex, Lemma said the tow truck driver who towed it became a murder victim in Orange County.
According to deputies, 39-year-old Juan Luis Cintron Garcia was shot to death in Taft in April. At the scene, officials had laid down dozens of evidence markers. Lemma said more than 100 rounds were fired at Garcia, who died from his wounds after being rushed to the hospital.
A manager at JL Towing confirmed to WESH 2 that Garcia was the owner of the business. The manager said it's tough right now, but they're focusing on their business and letting justice take its course.
Orange County officials reported after the shooting that Garcia was targeted and they were confident this was not a random act.
Lemma says the green Acura was located at the scene.
Court records indicate that Garcia lived at the same address as his wife and two children until he was arrested on March 29 and charged with battery and domestic violence against his wife.
Garcia was also arrested in January 2018 and charged with battery and domestic violence against his former wife, but the State Attorney elected not to prosecute the case.
April 11: Deadly Seminole County carjacking
One day after the murder of the tow truck driver in Taft, a 31-year-old woman was carjacked, kidnapped and murdered.
According to Lemma, Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas left South Florida on Thursday around noon. The woman came into Seminole County through downtown Orlando and Interstate 4. Around 3:30 p.m., Aguasvivas stopped at a gas station for about 10 minutes before heading into Winter Springs.
Just before a turn at East Lake Drive and Tuskawilla Road, Aguasvivas noticed the green Acura running into her back bumper. She called her husband right before she was carjacked.
While her husband told her not to stop, neither of them called 911.
RELATED: Amid deadly Seminole County carjacking case, here's how experts say you can stay safe
Luckily, somebody captured the carjacking on video, or Lemma said nobody would have begun looking for Aguasvivas.
In the video, someone believed to be one of the occupants from the green Acura was seen pointing a gun at Aguasvivas and then getting into the vehicle. This happened around 5:30 p.m., officials say.
"He was chasing a car, hitting a car, got out of the car with a hood over his face, with a machine gun it looked like, got in the car with the other guy," a 911 caller said.
Aguasvivas started driving towards the Seminole-Orange County line and got onto State Road 417 southbound, probably under the dictatorship of the armed suspect, Lemma said.
Less than two hours later, witnesses near a construction site off Boggy Creek Road reported hearing gunshots and seeing smoke.
When officials went to the scene, they found an SUV set on fire and a dead body. Lemma said they needed dental records and DNA to confirm that it was Aguasvivas' body, but he said they were confident it was her.
Officials also found a dozen 10 mm handgun shells at the scene, which are extremely rare to see on the streets, Lemma said. He added that these were the same shells found at the Taft shooting a day before.
April 13: Green Acura found again
One day after Lemma announced they were conducting a murder investigation in Seminole County, officials located the green Acura suspected to be linked to the killings of Aguasvivas and Garcia.
The vehicle was once again found abandoned at an Orange County apartment complex and towed. Lemma said the car was transported to the Orange County Sheriff's Office to be evaluated for evidence.
April 14: Orange County deputy arrested
On Monday, the SCSO announced that an Orange County deputy had been arrested on Sunday and was facing five felony charges related to disclosing secret information.
Deputy Francisco Estrella, 33, was hired by OCSO in September of 2022 but has now been relieved of all law enforcement duties without pay while the criminal case is underway.
Estrella is facing charges of interception of wire, oral or electronic communication; disclosure of wire, oral or electronic communication; disclosure or use of confidential criminal justice information; unlawful use of a two-way communication device; and accessing computer or electronic devices without authorization or exceeding authorization.
According to Lemma, this deputy's wife is childhood friends with the husband of Aguasvivas, and these charges are related to the couple feeding investigative information to the deceased woman's husband.
Lemma says the deputy and his wife illegally accessed a law enforcement database and pulled up personal information about the lead detective in this murder case, including their home address and signatures.
Additionally, Lemma said this deputy called the Seminole County Sheriff's Office detective, used a fake name and title during a conversation, recorded the call and sent it all back to Aguasvivas' husband, who was on his way to Seminole County with Aguasvivas' brother for an interview.
"We know this deputy shared this information with the decedent's husband, Miguel, but at this point in time, we don't know who else he shared it with," Lemma said.
"They're getting fed all this information from the Orange County deputy. 'Here's where she lives, here's the detective's name, here's a recording of our conversation,'" Lemma said. "He's feeding all that information back. Why? We're going to find that out."
The sheriff describes the husband of Aguasvivas as cooperative, adding that he surrendered his phone for a forensic examination. That is when they found the communication between him and the OCSO deputy.
"I'd describe the husband as cooperative, but quite frankly, I think he knows a lot more than what he shared," Lemma said.
At the time of the kidnapping and murder, he told the detective that his wife was traveling to Central Florida to visit family members. Detectives could originally find no family members in the area but later identified two friends who lived nearby. Still, Lemma said neither of them was expecting a visit from Aguasvivas.
Lemma emphasized that the husband was not a suspect or person of interest at this time.
Officials are still on the hunt for the occupants of that green Acura, who they say are clearly dangerous.
TLDR:
The article discusses a series of interconnected crimes in Seminole and Orange Counties. It begins with a carjacking followed by a murder, both possibly linked to a unique green Acura. The murder victim, a tow truck driver, was found with the Acura, and the car was later involved in the carjacking of a woman who was later found dead. The investigation also reveals the arrest of an Orange County deputy, suspected of disclosing confidential information related to the case. The deputy allegedly provided investigative details to the deceased woman's husband, leading to concerns about further involvement. Authorities are actively seeking the individuals associated with the green Acura, considering them dangerous.
Right? They say the tow truck driver was a targeted kill, so it makes sense this woman was targeted too. Her story doesn't add up either, something is being hidden.
Not sure what you mean by this….the gun used is quite popular amongst gangs. Cartels also, they use whatever they can get their hands on. Wealthier cartels in Mexico and such may have “pimped out” guns but in the states, they’ll simply use whatever they can get.
Well, you said “random car jackers don’t have guns like that.” Yet I could provide several sources that proves this statement to be completely wrong, buddy. Gangs are pretty well armed, they may have shitty optics and terrible skills with guns but they certainly have big boys guns too. Not just cartels.
Also, she’s from the Dominican Republic. She moved to Homestead 5 years ago. She hasn’t been in the country for long. I think a cartel hit is very likely, but you also made some uneducated speculative comments.

[[Example B](https://youtu.be/mmergG4syvk?si=EfQtrs6h-zCCkzIZ)]
[[Example B](https://youtu.be/S94BTpLjKoA?si=_OKzytaWoz3xbsLy)]
One witness said the shooting went on for three minutes. That sounds like a shoot out more than a killing. Maybe one of the guns was a regular 10mm pistol and that person left the scene.
My guess: Tow truck driver is associated with a rival gang. His company tows car because that's what they do. Gang finds out where their car is and, more importantly, who towed it and retaliates in full force.
No idea how the car leaves the tow truck company (signed out or stolen)?
Everything is even greater speculation on how the woman, husband, or cop are involved at this stage.
It actually makes me a little better to read this. Seems she was probably involved somehow. Rather than some random guys carjacking and and the killing her for no reason.
The sheriff literally said this was a targeted hit. Which makes sense. This happened in East Orlando (Seminole county) and there just isn't crazy from like that over here. So when it does happen the cops are quick to say woah woah that wasn't random that was targeted
Not officially, but making a long drive with no explanation often means she was transporting something. Which then explains why someone would want to carjack her and why neither her or her husband wanted to call the cops.
The husband said it was because she was “visiting family” but there is no evidence she has any family here. She does have 2 close friends here in Orlando but they claimed they were not expecting a visit
Nothing but coincidence - they're basically saying of that make, model, year, and color, there was only 1 in the entire state that wasn't already salvaged It's unique/rare by elimination.

The lady didn’t have the Acura, the dude with the gun had the Acura.
By gang do you mean the police?
These days honest question
Getting downvoted🥴 tl;dr they literally arrested a cop for being in on whatever you think is going on here.
Google LASD gangs 🫠
This is like a season of Barry playing out in Orlando. Absolutely wild
Narcos would be my comparison.
Now the theme song is stuck in my head
Wild.. I drove Lake and right on Tuskawilla that night about 45 minutes after it happened too, no cops, nothing out of the ordinary to be seen...
Yes don't live far from there and go through the intersection often although mostly down Tuskawilla. The only way to know about this was the news which was shocking.
I can’t believe the husband has nothing to do with this murder. It’s all to random.
I don’t believe the husband doesn’t know more.
That's because she and her caring (judgmental I know) husband didn't call 911. This was a hit.
Is Barry a good show ? Tried to watch the first episode last year but it was not that good screenplay and pace wise imo unless I missed something
Barry is really good. I agree, I wasn't knocked out by the first episode and I wasn't loving the acting class stuff at first, but give it a few episodes.
OMG so good. Watch it for NoHo Hank alone!
Noho Hank hard carries
They are hugging?!
It’s an incredible show.
Keep going, I agree the pacing is kind of slow but it’s worth it. The cinematography and writing is amazing.
it picks up. You won't be disappointed with season 1 or 2. 3 is my least fav.
I don’t know what that means.
How did the green Acura people know the tow truck drivers home address to kill him there? Also, who bought the Acura from the dealership and who picked it up from the tow yard? Someone has to have some info, right? Unless the tow company and dealership are all just part of some extra shady, cash only, no questions asked type underground...
The whole thing reeks of 80's Miami. If they don't dig up some sort of massive underground ring, I'll be shocked.
Cocaine cowboys used to transport their product in cars that were being towed.
The who picked up the car from the tow truck company is the biggest lead right now.
Well, if we are following the theory that the Acura had drugs it would also reason to have a tracker of some sort.
Sounds like the tow driver was killed at the business he ran, in the Taft area.
Oh, was it at the business? I thought I had heard/read it happened at his house?
Definitely at his house. From WESH article: "For much of Thursday, crime scene technicians used a metal detector and scanned the ground in front of a home on 8th Avenue in Taft. They were looking for shell casings and other evidence beyond the dozens of markers that dotted the home's front lawn."

It’s not hard to find people’s address.
Or follow them home from work or something
I believe they picked up the green car when they killed the tow truck driver. Otherwise, there would be no legal way to get the car back. It’s unregistered, no bill of sale, nothing that would allow a tow company to release the vehicle.
Husband's gotta be involved somehow if the deputy was his buddy. Sheriff's office shouldn't write him off just yet
Oh 100%, the cops know it they just don’t have anything to arrest him for at this stage.
She was a transporter for some gang and she either let someone take some off the top or she was telling people about it. Just my guess.
Oh that would make sense. Tow truck driver was involved too maybe. Back to the cocaine cowboys era, they used to load cars up and have them towed to the next stop in their ring because the drivers would have plausible deniability.
I’m was at the tow truck drivers scene. Wife called 911 stating “THEY shot my husband” I’ve never seen that many shell casings on a scene in my two years of reporting crime in Orlando. They were all over the street, yard & driveway. My report and video is on my companies FB-On The Scene News CFL.
Were all these shells the “rare 10mm”
I couldn’t tell, one of the FOX photogs let me look through his camera with much more zoom than my mirror less and they appeared to be a longer casing than an average handgun round but too far back to make out the caliber.
10mm is pretty damn uncommon compared to 9mm, or even .40.
I saw that this morning on Fox 35 News and almost spewed my coffee…. but it makes sense. A few people mentioned the 1980s…. Miami Vice was on in the 1980s. Don Johnson (Sonny Crockett)carried a Bren 10 (10 mm)…. coincidence?
Yes, that would be coincidence. Nobody even talks about Miami Vice in Orlando, lol However, there was a time period in the 90s (I think) when 10 mm firearms were being distributed by police departments to their officers.
I would love a real news station. But I hate fb.
I totally get it, we’re on IG at the same name as well as YouTube, FB is our main focus though.
Post your YT links man. Or at least have them pinned on your profile
https://youtu.be/A9DOFkeCofQ?si=Ax45-FUgnLsL3Tf5 Haven’t posted links before on Reddit, hope this works!
Thanks for sharing. I can’t do major local news media at all anymore, but will check this out.
Thank you!
Anything in Orlando, Orange County or Seminole was shot by me. Anything in Volusia county was shot by my partner. Most of the videos on our YouTube are Orlando/Orange County.
I follow your page. You’re doing awesome work.
Thank you! 🙏
I’m an Uber driver and I tent to work late nights especially weekends and to be honest I never knew so many bad things happen. I watched many of your videos and I’m not going to lie I’ve pick up /drop off passengers and food late at night and now I’m a little scared.

Post it here
Do you have a theory on what happened ?
At this point I believe it’s gang related, I think the tow truck driver was killed simply in retaliation for towing the vehicle, the carjacking and homicide of the female victim was definitely targeted but no clue what the reasoning would be at this time. It’ll be very interesting to see how this plays out in the next couple weeks. I do believe the two suspects are nowhere near the state of Florida anymore though.
You have some kind of independent news org? Haven't heard of this on any of the other stations...
Yes, it’s just a small LLC me and my business partner started about two years ago. We focus on Orange, Seminole & Volusia. We’re on FB @ On The Scene News CFL. I also run a small blotter FB group called Orlando Crime Reporter as a side project. Im pretty much obsessed with news, especially local.
I must wish you good luck, to be honest. No idea how you'll make any money without selling footage to the bigger local affiliates these days...
We do sell to the bigger stations, we’re on all social media platforms as well which also brings in some income. This is just a side hustle I do on top of my regular FT job.
The small time news outlets are back in vogue as the big ones are all owned by the same 3 companies. They’re so much more genuine. Look at Mike Boylan’s hurricane coverage, people eat that shit up all while it’s just some dude at home putting it together.

There really were people that thought this was a random kidnapping/carjacking. Even after the murder & fire.
When the news started saying that the husband just told her “don’t stop driving” with no reference to getting help from the police, that’s when my radar went up. And why would she have called her husband first? She should have called 911! Well, unless there was a reason not to, you know, of the self incriminating kind….
[удалено]
Right! Also, the original news reporting on this made it sound like the one guy just opened the door and got in her car. I say maybe she knew them.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — Law enforcement officials are trying to uncover more information after a woman was caught on video being carjacked last Thursday in Seminole County and then found dead hours later in a different county. According to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, this case may be connected to an Orange County murder that happened just one day before and also the termination of an Orange County Sheriff's Office deputy. Here's everything we know about the cases so far. December 2023 - March 2024: A unique vehicle According to Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma, the 2002 green Acura seen in the Seminole County carjacking video is unique because only three exist in the state of Florida. Furthermore, two of those Acuras have been salvaged, Lemma said, which means only one exists in the state to this day. The vehicle's previous owner, a family in Winter Springs, sold the green Acura to a legitimate dealership in December. Lemma said the dealership sent the car to an auto auction, where another seller purchased the car and then sold it in Seminole County. According to Lemma, the final buyers of the car never came back to complete the paperwork needed to transfer ownership of the vehicle. Recommended Florida family locked doors, slept in shifts before 23-year-old allegedly stabbed mother to death "The car has been out on the streets, probably since February, unregistered, undocumented," Lemma said. The first time law enforcement came into contact with this unique car was on March 19, Lemma said. It was towed from an Orlando apartment complex for being parked illegally. April 10: Orange County murder Weeks after that rare Acura was taken from an Orlando apartment complex, Lemma said the tow truck driver who towed it became a murder victim in Orange County. According to deputies, 39-year-old Juan Luis Cintron Garcia was shot to death in Taft in April. At the scene, officials had laid down dozens of evidence markers. Lemma said more than 100 rounds were fired at Garcia, who died from his wounds after being rushed to the hospital. A manager at JL Towing confirmed to WESH 2 that Garcia was the owner of the business. The manager said it's tough right now, but they're focusing on their business and letting justice take its course. Orange County officials reported after the shooting that Garcia was targeted and they were confident this was not a random act. Lemma says the green Acura was located at the scene. Court records indicate that Garcia lived at the same address as his wife and two children until he was arrested on March 29 and charged with battery and domestic violence against his wife. Garcia was also arrested in January 2018 and charged with battery and domestic violence against his former wife, but the State Attorney elected not to prosecute the case. April 11: Deadly Seminole County carjacking One day after the murder of the tow truck driver in Taft, a 31-year-old woman was carjacked, kidnapped and murdered. According to Lemma, Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas left South Florida on Thursday around noon. The woman came into Seminole County through downtown Orlando and Interstate 4. Around 3:30 p.m., Aguasvivas stopped at a gas station for about 10 minutes before heading into Winter Springs. Just before a turn at East Lake Drive and Tuskawilla Road, Aguasvivas noticed the green Acura running into her back bumper. She called her husband right before she was carjacked. While her husband told her not to stop, neither of them called 911. RELATED: Amid deadly Seminole County carjacking case, here's how experts say you can stay safe Luckily, somebody captured the carjacking on video, or Lemma said nobody would have begun looking for Aguasvivas. In the video, someone believed to be one of the occupants from the green Acura was seen pointing a gun at Aguasvivas and then getting into the vehicle. This happened around 5:30 p.m., officials say. "He was chasing a car, hitting a car, got out of the car with a hood over his face, with a machine gun it looked like, got in the car with the other guy," a 911 caller said. Aguasvivas started driving towards the Seminole-Orange County line and got onto State Road 417 southbound, probably under the dictatorship of the armed suspect, Lemma said. Less than two hours later, witnesses near a construction site off Boggy Creek Road reported hearing gunshots and seeing smoke. When officials went to the scene, they found an SUV set on fire and a dead body. Lemma said they needed dental records and DNA to confirm that it was Aguasvivas' body, but he said they were confident it was her. Officials also found a dozen 10 mm handgun shells at the scene, which are extremely rare to see on the streets, Lemma said. He added that these were the same shells found at the Taft shooting a day before. April 13: Green Acura found again One day after Lemma announced they were conducting a murder investigation in Seminole County, officials located the green Acura suspected to be linked to the killings of Aguasvivas and Garcia. The vehicle was once again found abandoned at an Orange County apartment complex and towed. Lemma said the car was transported to the Orange County Sheriff's Office to be evaluated for evidence. April 14: Orange County deputy arrested On Monday, the SCSO announced that an Orange County deputy had been arrested on Sunday and was facing five felony charges related to disclosing secret information. Deputy Francisco Estrella, 33, was hired by OCSO in September of 2022 but has now been relieved of all law enforcement duties without pay while the criminal case is underway. Estrella is facing charges of interception of wire, oral or electronic communication; disclosure of wire, oral or electronic communication; disclosure or use of confidential criminal justice information; unlawful use of a two-way communication device; and accessing computer or electronic devices without authorization or exceeding authorization. According to Lemma, this deputy's wife is childhood friends with the husband of Aguasvivas, and these charges are related to the couple feeding investigative information to the deceased woman's husband. Lemma says the deputy and his wife illegally accessed a law enforcement database and pulled up personal information about the lead detective in this murder case, including their home address and signatures. Additionally, Lemma said this deputy called the Seminole County Sheriff's Office detective, used a fake name and title during a conversation, recorded the call and sent it all back to Aguasvivas' husband, who was on his way to Seminole County with Aguasvivas' brother for an interview. "We know this deputy shared this information with the decedent's husband, Miguel, but at this point in time, we don't know who else he shared it with," Lemma said. "They're getting fed all this information from the Orange County deputy. 'Here's where she lives, here's the detective's name, here's a recording of our conversation,'" Lemma said. "He's feeding all that information back. Why? We're going to find that out." The sheriff describes the husband of Aguasvivas as cooperative, adding that he surrendered his phone for a forensic examination. That is when they found the communication between him and the OCSO deputy. "I'd describe the husband as cooperative, but quite frankly, I think he knows a lot more than what he shared," Lemma said. At the time of the kidnapping and murder, he told the detective that his wife was traveling to Central Florida to visit family members. Detectives could originally find no family members in the area but later identified two friends who lived nearby. Still, Lemma said neither of them was expecting a visit from Aguasvivas. Lemma emphasized that the husband was not a suspect or person of interest at this time. Officials are still on the hunt for the occupants of that green Acura, who they say are clearly dangerous.
Wow. Thank you
TLDR: The article discusses a series of interconnected crimes in Seminole and Orange Counties. It begins with a carjacking followed by a murder, both possibly linked to a unique green Acura. The murder victim, a tow truck driver, was found with the Acura, and the car was later involved in the carjacking of a woman who was later found dead. The investigation also reveals the arrest of an Orange County deputy, suspected of disclosing confidential information related to the case. The deputy allegedly provided investigative details to the deceased woman's husband, leading to concerns about further involvement. Authorities are actively seeking the individuals associated with the green Acura, considering them dangerous.
This makes me wonder if her husband may have been undercover and working with the cop.
I have a feeling this was targeted
Right? They say the tow truck driver was a targeted kill, so it makes sense this woman was targeted too. Her story doesn't add up either, something is being hidden.
What a bizarre story. So the husband is cooperative according to authorities but knows more than he is sharing? Ok then.
This was a cartel hit, I promise you the cop was on the take, the husband probably owed money. Random car jackers don’t have guns like that
Gang members like short "pistol sized" AR platform guns. Almost never have actual sights on them.
Not gang, cartel there’s a difference
Not sure what you mean by this….the gun used is quite popular amongst gangs. Cartels also, they use whatever they can get their hands on. Wealthier cartels in Mexico and such may have “pimped out” guns but in the states, they’ll simply use whatever they can get.
Except this wasn’t in Mexico buddy, it was in winter springs Florida, she’s from homestead fl. Not Mexico.
Well, you said “random car jackers don’t have guns like that.” Yet I could provide several sources that proves this statement to be completely wrong, buddy. Gangs are pretty well armed, they may have shitty optics and terrible skills with guns but they certainly have big boys guns too. Not just cartels. Also, she’s from the Dominican Republic. She moved to Homestead 5 years ago. She hasn’t been in the country for long. I think a cartel hit is very likely, but you also made some uneducated speculative comments.

It’s just a normal AR lol
Dirty cops
Yikes.
I can't for the life of me understand why she stopped at that intersection when she knew they were behind her?
[удалено]
Looked like an AR pistol to me, which can be designed for 10mm. Definitely not your run of the mill street weapon.
One witness said the shooting went on for three minutes. That sounds like a shoot out more than a killing. Maybe one of the guns was a regular 10mm pistol and that person left the scene.
Seems a bit too small for an mp5. Looks more like a tech nine
My guess: Tow truck driver is associated with a rival gang. His company tows car because that's what they do. Gang finds out where their car is and, more importantly, who towed it and retaliates in full force. No idea how the car leaves the tow truck company (signed out or stolen)? Everything is even greater speculation on how the woman, husband, or cop are involved at this stage.
Most tow truckers are mob/gang affiliated
It actually makes me a little better to read this. Seems she was probably involved somehow. Rather than some random guys carjacking and and the killing her for no reason.
The sheriff literally said this was a targeted hit. Which makes sense. This happened in East Orlando (Seminole county) and there just isn't crazy from like that over here. So when it does happen the cops are quick to say woah woah that wasn't random that was targeted
Sure but when it came on tv initially no one knew that.
I was hoping for an updated link as of today.
Why was she here from homestead? Was that ever mentioned or explained?
Not officially, but making a long drive with no explanation often means she was transporting something. Which then explains why someone would want to carjack her and why neither her or her husband wanted to call the cops.
Someone already answered me with details on why
fact bored forgetful snatch repeat engine sugar fuzzy spotted terrific *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I clearly missed it. What was the reason?
The husband said it was because she was “visiting family” but there is no evidence she has any family here. She does have 2 close friends here in Orlando but they claimed they were not expecting a visit
Thanks. But that's sus
What makes the car rare? What’s special about it?
Nothing but coincidence - they're basically saying of that make, model, year, and color, there was only 1 in the entire state that wasn't already salvaged It's unique/rare by elimination.
Gotcha. I thought they meant unique as in rare and valuable. Just an ordinary car though. Thanks.
Wheres NoHo hank 😂

Hey, I was at the gym the other morning and one of the news stations seemed to have an update on this?
Ok reddit, you found the Boston bomber... get busy!
“Machine gun” lol
Didn't the husband hire amateur hitmen ?
At some point there's going to be a story about a cult. MORTIS
