The funeral for 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was tragically murdered last week, is scheduled to take place on Thursday afternoon in Houston. This solemn occasion coincides with the upcoming Presidential Debate, where immigration and border security are anticipated to be prominent topics of discussion.

Jocelyn Nungaray, who was allegedly strangled to death by two illegal immigrants, will be honored in a celebration of life ceremony at 2 p.m. ET before being laid to rest at a cemetery in north Houston.

In her obituary, Jocelyn is remembered for her radiant kindness, boundless compassion, and infectious zest for life. Her untimely passing has deeply impacted all those who knew her, leaving a lasting imprint on their hearts.

The two suspects accused of Jocelyn's murder, Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 22, and Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, are currently facing a capital murder charge with a bail set at $10 million each. Both individuals, hailing from Venezuela, entered the U.S. illegally near El Paso, Texas, and were subsequently apprehended by Border Patrol before being released from custody.

Prosecutors have indicated that Jocelyn's case shows signs of sexual assault, further intensifying the gravity of the situation. Former President Trump took to social media to express his outrage over the incident, attributing blame to current President Biden for the lax border policies that allowed such tragedies to occur.

A White House spokesperson extended condolences to Jocelyn's family and emphasized the importance of holding perpetrators of such heinous crimes accountable to the fullest extent of the law. However, House Democrats were captured on video seemingly downplaying the role of illegal immigration in Jocelyn's murder, sparking controversy and debate.

As the nation mourns the loss of Jocelyn Nungaray, her memory serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities surrounding immigration and border security issues in the United States.
