The incident happened near Winter Springs last week. The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said 31-year-old Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvivas, of Homestead, was stopped Thursday at a traffic light at the intersection of East Lake Drive and Tuskawilla Ro ad in her Dodge Durango when a masked gunman carrying a 10mm automatic handgun got out of a green Acura and entered her SUV, apparently forcing her to drive off at gunpoint.
Less than two hours later, a vehicle similar to the Durango was found ablaze in Osceola County after witnesses reported hearing gunshots at a construction site near Boggy Creek Road, the sheriff said, adding that the vehicle was damaged so badly that it could not be identified.
A body believed to be Aguasvivas was found in the vehicle, officials said. As of Thursday morning, the body had not been positively identified.
