The FBI has initiated an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez, a 41-year-old commercial truck driver. Authorities described the circumstances surrounding his vanishing as “suspicious.” Gonzalez was last known to be transporting vehicles from Georgia to Florida when he disappeared on April 16.

On that day, Gonzalez was making a delivery from the Port of Brunswick in Georgia to Miami, Florida. Reports indicate that he initially paused for a rest at a truck stop located in Brevard County, Florida, where he stayed for several hours before resuming his journey. The FBI’s investigation revealed that his truck’s GPS tracked him heading south for a single exit before he abruptly changed direction, turning back towards Jacksonville, Florida.
Shortly after this diversion, Gonzalez became unreachable, leading to worries about his well-being. On April 17, his truck was discovered abandoned in Port Wentworth, Georgia, without any sign of Gonzalez or the vehicles he was meant to deliver. It was noted that multiple vehicles were missing from his hauler, although three of them have since been located in Florida.
As of April 27, both Gonzalez and the remaining vehicles have not been found. The FBI is now actively seeking the public’s assistance, requesting any photographs or video footage from individuals who may have been at the Brevard County Rest Area in Grant-Valkaria, Florida, during the early hours of April 17. Investigators are particularly interested in footage from the southern section of the rest area near the entrance ramp to I-95 South.
Gonzalez, who hails from Cuba, has been described by the FBI as a Hispanic man standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. He is bald and has a brown beard and mustache. Additionally, investigators noted that he has several distinguishing tattoos, including a full sleeve on his left arm, another on his lower right arm, and the word “Elisia” inscribed on his right forearm.
The search for Gonzalez has prompted concerned friends and family to rally for his safe return. His disappearance has raised alarm among the local community and beyond, highlighting the risks faced by truck drivers who often operate in isolated and vulnerable conditions on long-haul trips.
The FBI is encouraging anyone with information related to Gonzalez’s disappearance to come forward.

Community members are urged to help spread the word about Gonzalez’s case, hoping that increased awareness could lead to vital leads in the investigation. As search efforts continue, authorities remain dedicated to piecing together the circumstances surrounding the driver’s disappearance, striving to uncover the truth and bring closure to his family.
