BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — The FBI Tampa is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing truck driver who disappeared earlier this month while transporting vehicles through Florida.

Investigators are searching for Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez, who was last seen on April 17 at a rest area along Interstate 95 south in Grant-Valkaria in Brevard County.

According to the FBI, Gonzalez was driving a truck hauling vehicles from the Port of Brunswick to Miami when he went missing after a possible hijacking.

Authorities say the truck and some of the vehicles he was transporting have since been recovered, but Gonzalez remains unaccounted for.

Federal agents are urging anyone who may have been at the rest area during the early morning hours of April 17 to come forward with information. Investigators are especially interested in any photos or videos taken at the location that could assist in the case.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit tips online at tips.fbi.gov.

The investigation remains ongoing.
