Illegal Alien from El Salvador Arrested for Alleged Sexual Assault of Uber Driver, Leading to Miami Crash Involving Church
Miami, FL – An undocumented foreign national from El Salvador has been arrested and charged after allegedly sexually assaulting a rideshare driver, triggering a multi-vehicle collision that sent a car crashing into a local church.
Authorities identified the suspect as 26-year-old Oscar Ernesto Sanchez-Aguire. According to arrest records, the incident occurred early on January 31, 2026, in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood. The victim, a female Uber driver, was transporting Sanchez-Aguire just before 2:00 a.m. when he allegedly directed her to turn onto a dark street near Southwest 6th Avenue and 7th Street.
Deep Search: Details of the Alleged Assault and Crash
The arrest affidavit states that while the vehicle was in motion, Sanchez-Aguire covered the driver’s mouth and violently groped her. “He tried to rape me. He tried to touch me, abuse me,” the victim reportedly screamed to witnesses after the crash.
In a state of panic during the alleged assault, the driver lost control of her SUV. Her vehicle collided with another car, causing that second vehicle to slam into the wall of a nearby church. The Uber driver’s vehicle continued forward, crashing into the concrete wall of a storage facility.
Candela Navarro, a witness who rushed to the scene, described the driver as being “trapped inside the car” and in a state of shock. “The car was a mess,” Navarro told local reporters, noting she feared the vehicle might explode while the victim was still inside.
Sanchez-Aguire allegedly attempted to flee the scene on foot but was tracked down by responding officers who located his cell phone inside the victim’s wrecked vehicle.
Add Background Info: Immigration Status and Legal Context
Federal authorities have confirmed Sanchez-Aguire’s immigration status. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security stated that he is a national of El Salvador who entered the United States illegally at an unknown date and location.
Following his arrest by Miami police, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a formal detainer against him on February 3, 2026. This action requests that local law enforcement hold him in custody to allow ICE agents to take him into federal detention for potential deportation proceedings.
Sanchez-Aguire is currently held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. He faces charges of battery and culpable negligence resulting in injuries. While a bond of $1,450 was set for the local charges, the federal ICE detainer effectively prevents his release.
Add Objections: Legal Status and Defense
It is important to note that Sanchez-Aguire has been charged but not yet convicted of these crimes. Under the U.S. legal system, he is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The charges against him are currently allegations based on the victim’s testimony and the arrest affidavit. As of this report, no public statement has been released by a defense attorney representing Sanchez-Aguire regarding his version of the events.
Uber has released a statement confirming they have removed the rider’s access to the app and are assisting law enforcement with their investigation.
