The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has verified that the lifeless body of Cuban trucker Alejandro Jacomino González was discovered along a coastal area in the state of Georgia on Wednesday.
The discovery comes nearly two weeks after Jacomino González vanished under circumstances that remain unclear.
In their official release, the bureau withheld specifics regarding the exact location where the body was found and the cause of death.
The FBI's branches in Tampa and Atlanta are leading the ongoing investigation.
Timeline of a Suspicious Disappearance
The puzzling case began on April 16, when 41-year-old Alejandro Jacomino, a resident of Port St. Lucie, Florida, picked up a shipment of vehicles at the Brunswick port in Georgia. His intended destination was Miami, where he was employed by Heartbeat Auto Transport.
In the early hours of April 17, witnesses last saw him at a rest area on I-95 South in Grant-Valkaria, Brevard County. According to the FBI, Jacomino arrived at about 1:21 a.m. and remained there for several hours.
The truck's GPS records later revealed peculiar movements. "At 7:49 a.m., the vehicle advanced one exit south and then abruptly turned north towards Jacksonville, deviating from its original course," the agency noted.
Shortly after, Jacomino stopped responding, and the truck was reported missing, the FBI stated in a previous report.
Truck Found Without Driver
On the same day, authorities located the truck in Port Wentworth, Georgia. It was abandoned, missing its driver and part of its cargo.
"Since the truck's discovery, three of the vehicles have been recovered in Florida, but others remain unaccounted for," the FBI clarified.
The case was internally labeled as "Brevard County Car Hauler Hijacking," suggesting the involvement of third parties from the outset.
Investigators are seeking photos and video recordings from anyone present in the Brevard County rest area or vicinity between 1:00 and 8:00 a.m. on April 17, focusing on the southern section near the ramp back onto I-95 South.
Official Confirmation Amidst Uncertainty
The FBI's official confirmation arrives after several days of preliminary reports. Juan Carlos Forcade, Jacomino González’s cousin, informed Telemundo 51 that the agency contacted the trucker's wife to notify her of the body's discovery.
As it stands, the family remains unaware of the exact circumstances surrounding the death, a crucial detail that authorities have yet to clarify.
Questions Surrounding the Case
The case has also raised concerns about the company employing the trucker. Telemundo 51 reported that the listed address for Heartbeat Auto Transport in Miami is an empty lot, and the owner declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation.
The company had previously posted on social media, stating, "Alejandro Jacomino González is more than just a missing driver; he is a family member, friend, and colleague of someone. Our hearts go out to his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time."
A Disturbing Pattern
Jacomino González’s death echoes another case that rattled the Cuban trucker community in the United States. In March 2022, trucker Alexis Sánchez Azcuy disappeared in Texas; his truck was found with traces of blood, and his murder was confirmed months later.
In July 2025, Ramón Alejandro Rodríguez Hernández was sentenced to life plus 20 additional years for that crime.
Both cases share troubling similarities: disappearances on long-haul routes, trucks found abandoned, and stolen cargo, hinting at possible organized networks targeting high-value vehicle transporters.
Ongoing Investigation
While the confirmation of Alejandro Jacomino González's death concludes the search phase, it leaves many questions unanswered regarding the critical hours between his last stop in Florida and the discovery of his body in Georgia.
The FBI emphasizes that public cooperation could be crucial. "Anyone with information related to this investigation" should contact the agency at 1-800-225-5324 (1-800-CALL-FBI) or submit tips online.
The case remains under federal investigation, with the family and a concerned community anxiously awaiting answers.
