Support for Family of 12-Year-Old Murder Victim Surpasses Fundraising Goal
The tragic death of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Texas has sparked an outpouring of support from the community. A GoFundMe campaign set up to help her family cover funeral costs quickly surpassed its goal, raising over $44,800 in donations in just a few hours. This comes after Houston Mayor John Whitmire announced that businessman Jim McIngvale would cover the funeral expenses for the family.
Jocelyn’s murder has shocked the nation after she was allegedly strangled to death and dumped in a bayou. There are also suspicions of sexual assault before her death. Two Venezuelan migrants, Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, have been arrested and charged with capital murder in connection to Jocelyn’s death.
Former President Donald Trump has blamed President Biden’s border policy for the incident, while other Republicans have criticized the White House’s response. Jocelyn’s mother described her as a fun-loving and unique individual, expressing her devastation at not being able to watch her daughter grow up.
As the investigation continues, authorities are looking into the suspects’ immigration histories. The community remains in shock and mourning over the tragic loss of Jocelyn, with many seeking justice for her untimely death.
