Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, strangled to death and thrown into creek near Rankin Road, north of Houston

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — More information is available on the death of a 12-year-old girl after her body was discovered in a north Houston creek Monday.

Jocelyn Nungaray was found on West Rankin Road near the North Freeway, just steps from her home, after investigators believed she had sneaked out of her home Sunday around 10 p.m. Her mother last saw her as she was going to bed, police said.

ABC13 spoke with Jocelyn’s grandmother, who told us, “We really want justice for her. We’re asking for everyone’s help.”

She describes her as an incredibly kind and loving girl. The family recently returned from their annual vacation to Garner State Park.

Jocelyn was reportedly talking on the phone with her 13-year-old boyfriend around midnight when he heard her talking with two adults.

The video shown above is from a previous report.

Tuesday evening, Houston police released photos of two men of interest in the case.

“There will be a report coming out soon showing very bad and horrible circumstances,” Houston Mayor John Whitmire said Tuesday.

Investigators are looking for surveillance video that could help them find the killer.

Billie Jackson was driving home after dropping her husband off from work Monday morning when she said she made a disturbing discovery.

“I drove past and when I looked down at the creek, I thought it was a mannequin. I turned around, stopped on the bridge, turned on my flashers, “I looked down and realized it was someone. I parked here and immediately called 911,” she said.

On Tuesday evening, Houston police posted a surveillance photo of two men of interest on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences determined that Jocelyn died of strangulation.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the girl’s death to contact Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
