A Florida woman found dead in favor of the street was erroneously focused in a murder-for-enlist plot started by an adoration triangle, police said. The only similarity between Zengotita-Torres and the intended target was that they both worked at the same store, the report said.

Osceola County Sheriff Russ Gibson told news outlets that Ishnar Marie Lopez, 35, was upset that a "man she loved" was in a relationship with another woman.

Glorianmarie Quinones Montes, 22, Alexis Ramos-Rivera, 22, and Ishanr Lopez-Ramos, 35, were arrested in connection to the murder of Janice Zengotita-Torres Jan. 8.

The suspects took after the wrong lady out of the dim store and to her condo where they "coercively put the casualty into the back of her own vehicle, and afterward headed out", Gibson said.

Gibson said the suspects followed Zengotita-Torres after she left work at Ross on Sunday night and accosted her when she got home.

Their alleged plan went wrong when the hired killers murdered the wrong woman, officials said.

"The suspects showed no regard for this victim, causing her to die from suffocation because the garbage bags were wrapped around her head", Gibson said. He said the three of them dumped Torres' body 91 miles away in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Ormond Beach.

They drove the victim to an ATM and made her to hand over her PIN and ATM card, then Ramos withdrew cash from her account, authorities said.

Zengotita-Torres' vehicle was later found in Orange County, Gibson said.

They are being held in the Osceola County Jail on murder charges.

Lopez Ramos was tracked down through the stolen bank card and was caught while making a withdrawal with it, all while reportedly wearing the victim's clothes.

Gibson praised the actions of the family in securing the arrests.

"All three confirmed this was a murder for hire and that the victim was mistakenly targeted and murdered", the Sheriff said.

Osceola County Sheriff Russ Gibson amid a news meeting Friday told correspondents the suspects purposefully focused on the 42-year-old Kissimmee inhabitant due to an instance of mixed up character.
