In a heartbreaking case that has shocked the community, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray bravely fought back against her attackers as she was assaulted for two hours under a Houston bridge. Prosecutors revealed on Tuesday that Jocelyn left scratch and bite marks on one of her alleged assailants, Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, who is now facing murder charges.

Assistant District Attorney Megan Long disclosed in Harris County court that Rangel Martinez still bore the visible marks that Jocelyn inflicted on him when he was apprehended. Rangel Martinez's alleged accomplice, Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, reportedly tried to intervene and convince Rangel Martinez to stop the assault. However, Rangel Martinez allegedly insisted on continuing and proceeded to strangle the young girl.

Harris County District Court Judge Josh Hill set a $10 million bail for Rangel Martinez, citing concerns about his potential flight risk and the possibility of him escaping justice by deportation. The judge expressed his awareness of previous cases where individuals facing Harris County charges were deported before facing trial.

Rangel Martinez, who appeared in court wearing a yellow jumpsuit and surrounded by bailiffs, had reportedly shaved his beard in an attempt to alter his appearance after the horrific attack. Pena Ramos, who had entered the country just a month before Jocelyn's murder, was granted a $10 million bond, double the amount requested by prosecutors and significantly higher than the defense's request.

According to court documents, the two suspects lured Jocelyn under a bridge on June 16, where they allegedly stripped her naked from the waist up and assaulted her for two hours. Jocelyn's feet were bound, and her back was covered in cuts. Pena Ramos had been fitted with an ankle monitor upon his release into the US after being apprehended at the border in May. He reportedly cut off the monitor after Jocelyn's body was discovered.

Rangel Martinez crossed the border illegally in March and was also issued an ankle monitor, which was removed in May due to his lack of known criminal history. Pena Ramos entered through El Paso in late May, stating that he intended to live with his cousin in Houston. Prior to his release into the country, he was fitted with an ankle monitor that was supposed to track his location for 21 days, but he removed it two days after Jocelyn's tragic death.

Surveillance footage captured both Rangel Martinez and Pena Ramos entering a 7-Eleven with Jocelyn on the night of her murder. They were then witnessed walking with her towards the bridge where her body was later found, partially unclothed and strangled.

Jocelyn's grieving family was present in court for the hearing. One family member had to be escorted out of the courtroom after confronting Rangel Martinez through tears. Alexis Nungaray, Jocelyn's mother, described her daughter as amazing and expressed the immense loss they feel. She shared that Jocelyn had a bright future ahead of her, which was tragically taken away by these "monsters."

As the case unfolds, District Attorney Kim Ogg emphasized the flaws in the immigration system and the need for reform. The brutal attack on Jocelyn Nungaray serves as a painful reminder of the broken system that allowed the alleged perpetrators to enter the country.

The court proceedings shed light on the horrifying details of Jocelyn's ordeal and the actions of the accused murderers. The community now seeks justice for Jocelyn and supports her family as they navigate this difficult time.
