Killing of Texas Girl Becomes a New Immigration Flashpoint
The killing of a 12-year-old Houston girl, found last week in the shallow water of a city drainage ditch after having been strangled, was already a horrific crime.
“It doesn’t get any worse,” the city’s mayor, John Whitmire, said.
Then investigators arrested two recent Venezuelan migrants and charged them with killing the girl, Jocelyn Nungaray. The second of the two appeared in court on Tuesday; both were being held on a $10 million bond.
