Judge sets $10M bond for second Venezuelan man accused of killing a 12-year-old Houston girl
HOUSTON (AP) — A second Venezuelan man living in the U.S. illegally and accused of killing a 12-year-old Houston girl has been ordered to be held on a $10 million bond. Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel is one of two men charged with capital murder in Jocelyn Nungaray’s death. The other is Franklin Jose Peña Ramos. Martinez-Rangel’s $10 million bond was set by a judge during a court hearing Tuesday in Houston. Martinez-Rangel’s attorney didn’t immediately reply to an email seeking comment. Peña’s bond was also set at $10 million during a Monday court hearing. Immigration authorities say Martinez-Rangel and Peña are Venezuelan nationals who entered the U.S. illegally in March. Nungaray’s funeral is set for Thursday in Houston.
