Donald Trump listens as Alexis Nungaray speaks at the Austin-Bergstrom
International Airport on October 25, 2024 in Austin, Texas. Nungaray is
the mother of 12 year old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was killed by illegal
immigrants (Aliens) in June, 2024.
Kim Ogg, the outgoing Democrat district attorney for Harris County,
announced that her office will pursue death sentences against the two
illegal aliens charged with raping and killing 12-year-old Jocelyn
Nungaray.
“We’ll be filing notice by the state of Texas that we intend to seek
the death penalty against Jocelyn’s murderers, Peña and Rangel. Both
were Venezuelan nationals, they had been captured while committing a
crime, coming into this country illegally, and then within days of
murdering and raping Jocelyn Nungaray,” Ogg said on Fox News on Friday.
“So we are seeking death because we want the message out there that
regardless of who you are, but especially if you are illegally in this
country, that you will face the same consequences as anyone else for
murdering a child during the course of raping and kidnapping her,” she
added.
Nungaray was reportedly tortured, raped, strangled, and her body was
then thrown in a shallow creek nearby to her home. Her body was found at
6:49 a.m. on June 17th. Police also noted that her “wrists and feet were bound.”
26-year-old Franklin Peña and 22-year-old Johan Martinez Rangel, who
police say are members of the violent gang “Tren de Aragua,” were
charged with capital murder in June. Peña was wearing an ankle monitor
when ICE finally apprehended him, according to the prosecution, and they
believe that he cut it or broke it off either before or after the
crime.

According to the DA’s office, she will notify Judge Josh Hill’s 232nd
District Court on Friday, informing the judge that her office intends
to pursue death penalties in this case. Additionally, Peña, Martinez
Rangel, and their legal representatives will receive the notice as well.
“Jocelyn’s murder was as vile, brutal and senseless as any case in my
tenure as district attorney,” Ogg said in a statement. “And it was made
worse by knowing that these two men were here illegally and, had they
been held after being captured at the border, they would never have had
the opportunity to murder Jocelyn and destroy her family’s future.”
Detectives with the Houston Police Department have stated that they
believe Nungaray left her family’s apartment at around 10 p.m. the night
before her body was discovered in the creek.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) verified that the two
men had entered the country illegally near El Paso without being
inspected. The two were then “granted parole or admitted by immigration
officials.”
Since her 12-year-old daughter’s tragic murder, Jocelyn Nungaray’s
mother, Alexis Nungaray, has been a staunch supporter of a closed
border, frequently siding with Republican leaders like President-elect
Donald Trump and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). The young mother also
expressed anger and disbelief that neither Biden nor Kamala Harris ever
reached out to her after the murder made national news headlines.
“Kamala Harris has never reached out to me, just even as a human, to
give her condolences as a humane person running this country,” Nungaray
said. “I think it’s very sad that she can’t even just give me an open
apology, sincere apology,” the mother continued.
“She [Jocelyn] was a preteen, months away from becoming a teenager,
out doing what teenagers do. Going to the corner store to get a soda,
she was being preyed on by two illegal Venezuelan immigrants. They saw
an innocent young girl and made her a target for their horrendous
actions,” the mother wrote on September 10th in a testimony to the House of Representatives Committee.
Nungaray also told the press that Trump reached out to her the day
after her daughter’s funeral, expressing his deepest sympathy.
“Alexis, it’s Donald Trump, and I’m just calling to give my warmest
regards to you and your family, it’s so horrible what happened and I’ll
call you later,” Trump said in his voicemail. “But, you just do the best
you can. It’s a horrible thing. This should have never happened. The
whole world loves you and they love that beautiful beautiful daughter of
yours so… I can’t express what’s going on in this country, so you just
take care of yourself and I’ll speak to you later, and all of Jocelyn’s
friends and family, give them my warmest regards. Just take care. Thank
you.”
By the end of this year, DA Ogg will have served her second and last
term as district attorney. One of her former prosecutors, Sean Teare,
who defeated Ogg in the Democrat primary in March and defeated
Republican Dan Simons in the general election in November, will succeed
her.
12-year-old
Jocelyn Nungaray was viciously murdered by two illegal aliens released
into our country by Kamala Harris just two months prior.
She would be alive today if Kamala had done her job.
