Martinez, considered a flight risk, has been detained with a bail set at $10 million. During the investigation, authorities discovered injuries on Martinez that were inflicted by Nungaray in her desperate attempt to defend herself during the attack on June 16. The young girl’s body was later found in a distressing state, partially clothed with evident signs of a violent struggle.
Harris County prosecutor Megan Long revealed the harrowing details of the murder. Ramos, in a statement to the authorities, claimed he tried to stop Martinez, who allegedly overpowered the girl and strangled her. Post-murder, Martinez reportedly planned to dispose of the body in water to eliminate DNA traces.
“The loss of a young child, who had their whole life ahead of them, is profoundly troubling,” Long stated, reflecting on the emotional weight of the case for both the prosecution team and the victim’s family. According to the prosecutors, Martinez confessed to binding Jocelyn’s legs and instructed Pena to dispose of her body in the bayou.
In a shocking confession, Ramos allegedly informed his construction job supervisor that they had been involved in an incident the previous night resulting in a death, and subsequently requested funds to flee the city. He too was given a $10 million bail during his Monday court appearance.
