The Seminole County Sheriff said they believe they later found the white Dodge on fire with Aguasvivas’ body inside, but they still have to confirm it is her through DNA. Officials said they also found a dozen shell casings.

“There's no clear indicator why somebody would this, why would they target them,” Sheriff Dennis Lemma said.

Investigators say moments before the carjacking, Aguasvivas called her husband and told him someone was following her and had rammed her car. The witness called 911 soon after.

“He was chasing the car, hit the car, got out of the car with a hood over his face and had a machine gun it looked like,” the witness said.
