Prosecutors in Texas are pursuing the death penalty for two individuals from Venezuela who are accused of the tragic murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in June.
Franklin Pena, 26, and Johan Martinez-Rangel, 22, were formally charged with capital murder in September for their alleged involvement in Nungaray's death. According to court documents, Pena and Rangel are accused of kidnapping Nungaray and causing her death by applying pressure to her neck. Additionally, they are facing charges of sexually assaulting her before abandoning her body under a bridge.
