Former Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has issued a stark warning about the handling of the murder case of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was brutally killed in Houston.
Ogg revealed that one of the alleged killers, Franklin Peña Ramos, had been involved in a prior sexual assault in Costa Rica—a crime that was neither prosecuted nor properly recorded—allowing him to enter the United States without issue.
The revelation has sparked public outrage, especially from those who argue that the current immigration policies make it easier for dangerous individuals to enter the country.
The community is demanding answers, while the new District Attorney, Sean Teare, faces criticism for allegedly adopting a “soft-on-crime” stance that could threaten the pursuit of full justice for Jocelyn.
Jocelyn’s body was discovered on June 17, 2024. Investigators believe she was sexually assaulted and murdered by Peña Ramos and Johan Martínez-Rangel, both Venezuelan nationals residing in the U.S. illegally. The brutality of the crime shocked the nation.
Before leaving office, Ogg had called for the death penalty for both suspects. She now fears her successor may not show the same resolve and warns that critical decisions are being made behind closed doors. She also highlighted a disturbing pattern where high-profile cases are dropped due to ideological or political motivations.
Harris County prosecutors and defense attorneys for the men accused of killing Jocelyn Nungaray piled on former Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg this morning, accusing her of leaking confidential information about the case in a TV interview.

Jocelyn’s family, although opposed to capital punishment, is demanding uncompromised justice. Her mother, Alexis Nungaray, has urged other potential victims to come forward and is leading a campaign to pass legislation aimed at tightening detention rules for undocumented immigrants involved in violent crimes.
This case has reignited a fierce national debate over public safety, immigration policy, and judicial accountability. Conservative leaders argue the murder could have been prevented with stricter immigration enforcement and less political leniency toward illegal entry.
On social media, public figures and citizens alike have expressed their anger.

The Jocelyn Nungaray case has become a powerful symbol of institutional failure in the face of crime and illegal immigration. The pressing question remains: Is justice being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness?
