TAMPA, FLORIDA — The FBI’s Tampa Field Office is asking for the public’s help locating a missing CDL truck driver who may have been the victim of a hijacking after he disappeared on April 17 while transporting vehicles from Georgia to Miami. Several vehicles from his load are also missing.
Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez, 41, picked up multiple vehicles from the Port of Brunswick in Georgia on April 16, 2026, and departed southbound toward Miami. At approximately 1:21 a.m. on April 17, he arrived at the Brevard County Rest Area on I-95 South in Grant-Valkaria, where he rested for several hours. At 7:49 a.m., GPS from the truck recorded it traveling south one exit before turning around and heading north toward Jacksonville. Shortly after, Gonzalez became unreachable and the truck was reported missing.
Later on April 17, the truck was located in Port Wentworth, Georgia — but Gonzalez was not inside. Several vehicles were missing from the hauler. Since the truck was found, three of the missing vehicles have been located in Florida. Others remain missing, along with Gonzalez.
Description
Gonzalez is a Hispanic male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, bald with a brown beard and mustache. He has a full sleeve tattoo on his left arm, a tattoo on his lower right arm, and a tattoo of the name “Elisia” on his right forearm. He is originally from Cuba and speaks both English and Spanish.
How to Help
The FBI is specifically seeking photos and video footage from anyone who was at or near the Brevard County Rest Area in Grant-Valkaria between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Friday, April 17, 2026, with a particular focus on the southern portion of the rest area near the ramp leading back onto I-95 South.
