On June 16, 2024, Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl, was killed in North Houston, Texas. The case attracted attention, as two illegal immigrants from Venezuela were charged with her murder.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Authorities found her body Monday morning in a creek in North Houston, and determined she had died by strangulation.[7]
Course of events
Nungaray snuck out of her house at 10 PM on Sunday, June 16th.[8] The two accused men had started their evening at a restaurant. While walking they met Jocelyn on Kuykendahl Road and talked to her for a couple minutes. The court claims they were asking her for directions. The three of them then walked to a convenience store. After a few more minutes, the three of them walked to a bridge, where Jocelyn was strangled. Court documents allege that the three of them were under the bridge for over two hours during which Jocelyn was tied up and had her pants taken off.[9]
The two accused men were arrested on Thursday, June 20th, at 13355 Northborough Drive at the Canfield Lakes Apartment.[9]
