A man involved in a deadly carjacking in Seminole County has pleaded guilty, revealing connections to a larger drug trafficking operation.
Ocasio Justiniano was a passenger in the green Acura involved in the carjacking. He admitted to various weapons and drug charges during a court hearing in Orlando. His sentencing is set for April 15, and he’s the first to plead guilty in this shocking case.
Initially, Guerrero de Aguasvivas seemed like an innocent victim, but it turns out she was involved in transporting a large sum of drug money. The plot thickened when a grand jury indicted new suspects related to the case, and prosecutors decided not to pursue the death penalty against Ocasio Justiniano.
The investigation into Guerrero de Aguasvivas’ death has been complex, especially after she was found dead in her burning car. U.S. Attorney Roger Handberg is expected to provide more details soon, as the case continues to develop.
Ocasio Justiniano’s plea agreement revealed some chilling details about the carjacking and the robbery that preceded it. He and others allegedly broke into a home, held people at gunpoint, and stole valuables. The whole thing is tied to a larger drug operation, and it’s still unclear why they targeted Guerrero de Aguasvivas.
In a twist, Ocasio Justiniano admitted to receiving a hefty sum for his role in the kidnapping, but authorities have only managed to recover a fraction of the money involved. The case is still ongoing, and more suspects may be charged as the investigation unfolds.
