Two Venezuelan men, Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 22, and Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, have been charged with capital murder in Houston for the killing of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. Her body was found strangled in a creek, leading to their arrest on June 20. Both men entered the US illegally and were apprehended separately near El Paso by Border Patrol earlier this year. They were released with a notice to appear in court. The case has sparked political debate, with Republicans criticizing Biden’s immigration policies and claiming the tragedy could have been prevented. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas emphasized the need to hold the criminals accountable.
