The family of Jocelyn Nungaray, the 12-year-old girl who was tragically murdered by two Venezuelan nationals in Texas, is expressing gratitude for the support they have received during this difficult time. Jocelyn's grandfather, Kelvin Alvarenga, expressed his thanks to former President Trump for reaching out to the family and offering his support.
During a recent interview, Alvarenga mentioned that he is grateful for the support and blessings from former President Trump and also thanked Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick for his efforts to pass 'Jocelyn’s Law,' which aims to deny bail for capital murder suspects.
The family described Jocelyn's murder as a horrific and senseless act that has left them devastated. They emphasized that they do not want Jocelyn's tragic death to be politicized and instead want her to be remembered for who she was.
The suspects, Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel and Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, are facing charges of capital murder in connection with Jocelyn's death. It is alleged that they sexually assaulted her before strangling her to death.
Despite the severity of the crime, Jocelyn's family has expressed their opposition to the death penalty for the suspects. They believe that a life sentence without parole would serve as a more fitting punishment, allowing the perpetrators to live with the consequences of their actions.
Alvarenga fondly remembered Jocelyn as a bright and aspiring young girl who dreamed of becoming a superstar. He expressed his determination to keep her memory alive and ensure that she is remembered as the star she was in their lives.
As the family continues to cope with their loss, they are focused on honoring Jocelyn's memory and advocating for justice in her name. Their hope is that through their efforts, Jocelyn's legacy will shine brightly and inspire others to remember her as the beloved girl she was.
