Katherine Altagracia Guerrero de Aguasvivas was found dead in her burning SUV.
Two men who are considered persons of interest in connection with a bizarre deadly Florida carjacking are in custody.
Katherine Altagracia Guerrero de Aguasvivas was carjacked at gunpoint in broad daylight and was later found dead in her burning SUV, according to the Seminole County Sheriff.
She was driving around 4 p.m. on April 11 when she called her husband and said she was being followed.
He told her to not stop but neither of them called 911.
A green Acura then started ramming her SUV.
When she stopped at a red light, a man in a black mask jumped out of the Acura and ran up to her car with a large gun.
A witness who saw what was going on recorded a video of the incident.

The carjacker got into the back of the vehicle and SUV and the Acura continued following the SUV as it drove away.
Around 7 p.m. that evening someone in Osceola County reported hearing gunshots and then later found what turned out to be the carjacked Dodge Durango that had been set on fire.
Her body was in the burned vehicle.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office says Kevin Ocasio Justiniano was taken into custody in Puerto Rico on unrelated drug trafficking and weapons charges.
Jordanish Torres-Garcia was arrested last week by the United States Marshals Services on unrelated charges.
Justiniano is believed to be the driver of the green Acura, and Torres-Garcia is allegedly the one who walked up to the victim's vehicle with the gun.
Both cases will be referred to the U.S. Attorney's Office and are expected to be charged with Carjacking Resulting in a Death.
"This case is about drugs and money," said Sheriff Dennis Lemma. "We believe the most dangerous people connected with this case are now off our streets."
The victim's husband is not believed to be connected to the killing.
Police are also investigating the shooting death of a tow truck driver who had towed the Acura in March.
"It's either connected or it's a heck of a coincidence," Lemma said.
