Tonight, chilling new details in the murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston. Two Venezuelan migrants, 22-year-old Johan Jose Martínez-Rangel, and 26-year-old Franklin Peña, charged with capital murder after authorities found the body of Jocelyn strangled. These monsters took that opportunity from her, from our family, of watching her.

All right, Guad joins us live tonight from Atlanta. Guad, are these suspects still being detained? What punishment could they face if found guilty? Tom, the suspects are being held under a $10 million bond. Under the current charges, prosecutors cannot seek the death penalty. But according to the district attorney, this is an ongoing investigation. If any evidence or the pending results of a DNA test kit show that the victim was sexually assaulted or kidnapped, that would change everything. The prosecutors would then be able to seek the death penalty. Tom.gwad Vanegas, First Night, Gwad. We thank you.
