FBI Finds Alejandro Jacomino González Dead in Georgia — Truck Driver
The FBI said truck driver Alejandro Jacomino González, 41, was found dead in a coastal area of Georgia after vanishing during a suspected hijacking while he was transporting vehicles. González was last seen alive in Florida on April 17, and investigators tied his disappearance to a truck that turned up nearly 300 miles away in Georgia the same day.
The finding shifts the case from a missing-person search to a death investigation involving the FBI field offices in Atlanta and Tampa. Investigators also said they recovered three of the vehicles that had been in the truck’s load, while other vehicles remained missing.
April 17 in Brevard County
González was last seen in the early morning hours of April 17 at a rest area along Interstate 95 south in Brevard County, Florida. The FBI said GPS data showed the truck leaving the rest area, briefly heading south, then turning north. Soon after, authorities said he became unreachable.
That same day, the truck was found in Port Wentworth, Georgia, nearly 300 miles from the Florida rest area. Federal investigators said González had picked up multiple vehicles from the Port of Brunswick and was headed toward Miami for delivery.
FBI search along Interstate 95
The FBI asked the public for surveillance video, photos and witness accounts from anyone who may have been at or near the Grant-Valkaria rest area between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. on April 17. The agency also described González as originally from Cuba and said he had a full sleeve tattoo on his left arm, a tattoo on his lower right arm, and the word “Elisia” tattooed on his right forearm.
Juan Carlos Forcade, González’s cousin, told NBC6 that the FBI called González’s wife on Tuesday and told her that her husband’s body was found in Georgia. The FBI later said a body found in a coastal area of Georgia was González.
Vehicles still missing
The FBI said the truck had been carrying several vehicles, and the recovery of three in Florida leaves other pieces of the load unaccounted for. “Since the truck was found, three of the vehicles have been recovered in Florida. Others remain missing…” the FBI said.
For people tracking the case, the practical next step is the same one investigators asked for: anyone with video, photos or witness accounts from the Grant-Valkaria rest area during the April 17 window can help fill the gap between the last verified sighting and the truck’s appearance in Georgia.
