The FBI agents recently raided a Doral auto shop in connection with a 2019 attempted murder-for-hire investigation targeting a well-known car designer. The raid took place at Doral Collision Center, located at 2091 NW 97th Ave, with agents and Doral police officers present on the scene. Sources have revealed that the investigation is linked to the August 27, 2019, attempted killing of Alex Vega, the owner of Avorza Vodka and The Auto Firm, in southwest Miami-Dade.
Alex Vega is a nationally recognized auto designer, known for his work with A-list celebrities and sports athletes. Despite being the target of the murder-for-hire plot, Vega survived the shooting. Over the course of five years, two individuals involved in the incident were arrested, convicted, and sentenced. The shooter and the getaway driver, identified as Julian Jimenez and James Serrano, were charged with various crimes including stalking, discharging a firearm, and conspiracy to use a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime. Both individuals received lengthy prison terms for their involvement in the attack.
The recent law enforcement activity at Doral Collision Center is believed to be related to a competitor in the auto industry who allegedly orchestrated the hit on Alex Vega. While the name of the individual has been disclosed to Local 10 News, confirmation from the FBI Miami office is pending. Special Agent Willie J. Creech of FBI Miami has confirmed the ongoing investigation but has refrained from providing further details at this time.
It is worth noting that Alex Vega’s brother, Mike Vega, is a well-known figure in South Florida as a spokesperson for the Miami Police Department.
