Two American men were taken into custody by police after being caught on camera with a 12-year-old girl, who was later found dead in a creek in Houston, Texas. According to authorities, Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, have been charged with capital murder in the death of Jocelyn Nungaray.
The medical examiner has determined that Jocelyn's cause of death was strangulation. It is not clear at this time if the suspects have obtained legal representation. As of Thursday, their names were not listed in any jail or court records.
Jocelyn's body was discovered in the shallow water of a creek early Monday morning. Police believe she snuck out of her nearby home the night before. Surveillance footage showed the two men meeting up with Jocelyn and walking to a convenience store with her. The three then proceeded to walk to a nearby bridge, where Jocelyn was killed.
Police have not confirmed if Jocelyn knew the suspects, who were reportedly roommates. The results of a sexual assault examination on the victim are still pending. On Tuesday, authorities released photos from the surveillance footage and identified the two men as persons of interest.
