Venezuelan Men Arrested for Murder of 12-Year-Old Girl Strangled to Death in Texas
Two men from Venezuela have been charged with capital murder in the brutal killing of a preteen girl in Texas this week, according to reports.
Just after 6 a.m. on Monday morning, the body of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was found in a creek in north Houston.
The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences ruled strangulation as her cause of death, KPRC 2 reports.
On Tuesday, the Houston Police Department released surveillance images of two persons of interest who were seen accompanying Nungaray at a 7-Eleven hours before her death.
Authorities believe Nungaray may have snuck out of her house on Sunday night after her mother went to bed.
The victim’s boyfriend told police she had called him from the convenience store and said he heard the voices of two males who approached her during the call.
Investigators say the same men were later caught by surveillance cameras walking in an area near where Nungaray’s body was found.
On Thursday morning, two males were arrested at apartment complex less than a mile from the scene of the crime.
During an ensuing press conference, Houston officials announced the suspects are both from Venezuela but have not yet revealed their immigration statuses.
Both suspects have been charged with capital murder.
An investigation is ongoing.
