Investigators have identified the man who was allegedly piloting the boat on May 11 that struck and killed Ella Riley Adler.
Carlos Guillermo Alonso, 78, was the only person on his boat at the time of the tragic crash, according to an incident report from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The boat was taken by FWC agents Tuesday after it was discovered outside Alonso's $4 million home in Coral Gables, Miami Herald reported.
Alonso is understood to be cooperating with law enforcement.
The report revealed that Adler, 15, had been on a 42-foot long boat. She was on it with 13 other people, including her teenage friends celebrating a friend's birthday, NBC Miami reported.

Before the terrifying collision, Adler and another girl were being towed with one riding a wakeboard and the other on a wake surfboard.
The girls then fell off the boards at different times and locations, though both were in the water simultaneously.
That's when Alonso, heading west, 'struck the female wake boarder who was in the water,' with his Boston Whaler boat, per the report. Adler later died from her injuries.
