Two illegal aliens from Venezuela were charged this week with allegedly murdering a young girl in Houston, Texas.
Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, were each charged with capital murder in the killing of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray.
The Houston Police Department responded to a call about a girl floating in a shallow creek on Monday. She was pronounced dead on the scene, police said.
Investigators said that Nungaray was murdered via strangulation and police were able to trace the movements the suspects before and after the killing by using surveillance videos.
Prosecutors said that the defendants “lured” Nungaray “under a bridge” where they “remained with her for over two hours, took her pants off, tied her up and killed her, then threw her body into the bayou.”
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that both men were illegal aliens who entered the U.S. recently and were released into the interior of the country by the Biden administration.
“Martinez and Pena both illegally entered the U.S. without inspection, parole or admission by a U.S. immigration officer on an unknown date and at an unknown location,” the agency said. “On March 14, Martinez was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol near El Paso, Texas. That same day he was released on an order of recognizance with a notice to appear. Pena was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol on May 28 near El Paso. He was also released on an order of recognizance with a notice to appear the same day he was apprehended.”
