News summary

The brutal murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston has reignited debates over the U.S. border crisis. Venezuelan suspects Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 22, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, both illegal immigrants, have been charged with capital murder and are held on $10 million bail each. Prosecutors allege the men lured Jocelyn under a bridge, sexually assaulted her for hours, and then strangled her, dumping her body in a bayou. The case has drawn significant public and political attention, with Texas Governor Greg Abbott blaming lax immigration enforcement for the tragedy. Awaiting forensic evidence, the suspects could face the death penalty if charges are amended to include sexual assault or kidnapping. The community, deeply shaken, attended Jocelyn’s funeral en masse, showing their support and grief.
