“They tried to kiss her and then strangled her”: Chilling details of Jocelyn Nungaray’s murder revealed

The case of Jocelyn Nungaray , a 12-year-old girl who was brutally murdered in Houston, Texas, has shaken the Latino community and thousands of people in the United States and Latin America. As the investigation progresses, authorities have revealed shocking details about her final hours. What began as an ordinary night for a girl ended up being a heinous crime that has left the entire country in shock.

According to the official Houston Police Department report, Jocelyn’s body was found lifeless last Monday under a bridge in the city’s northern suburbs. An autopsy confirmed she was strangled , but new testimony and evidence have revealed an even more harrowing picture.

Security cameras at a nearby store captured the minor walking alone around 10:00 p.m. Shortly afterward, she was seen interacting with two adult men. According to authorities, the suspects approached her, feigning friendly conversation. Hours later, both were seen leaving the scene of the crime without the minor.

One of the most disturbing details revealed by investigators is that the attackers tried to kiss her against her will . When she resisted, one of them proceeded to immobilize and strangle her , while the other watched and cooperated. The scene was described as “cruel and cowardly,” and prosecutors maintain that it was a premeditated murder.

The local community has responded with outrage, organizing vigils, marches, and demanding justice. Jocelyn’s mother, through tears, told the media: “My daughter was a happy, intelligent, and full of life girl… She didn’t deserve this. All I want is for them to pay for what they did to her.”

So far,
two men have been arrested as prime suspects. Both have criminal records and were on parole. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office is charging them with
capital murder and could seek the
maximum sentence .

The case has reopened the debate about child safety in urban areas and the control of repeat offenders. Community leaders have called on the local government to strengthen surveillance on dangerous streets, increase police presence, and improve lighting in public areas.

In addition, a social media campaign has been launched with the hashtag #JusticeForJocelyn , which seeks to raise awareness of the case and exert pressure for concrete actions at the state and national levels.

Jocelyn’s death cannot go unpunished. Her story is not only a desperate cry for justice, but also an urgent call to attention to the violence faced by thousands of girls around the world. Today, her name has become a symbol of struggle, and her memory demands truth, justice, and protection for all children.
