Prosecutors in Texas have announced their intention to seek the death penalty against two Venezuelan men who are accused of the heinous crime of killing a 12-year-old Houston girl after entering the U.S. illegally. The tragic death of Jocelyn Nungaray has sparked a national debate on immigration policies, with her mother advocating for stricter border control measures.
Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg stated that her office would be filing an official court notice to seek the death penalty for Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 22, and Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, who have been charged with capital murder in connection with Nungaray's death on June 16. Both men are currently in custody on $10 million bonds.
