In a shocking turn of events, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced on Wednesday that her office will be seeking the death penalty against 24-year-old Alonzo Gonzalez, who is accused of murder in the case of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 21-year-old woman tragically found dead in East Houston. The news follows the arrest of Gonzalez, who has been charged with capital murder for the brutal killing. District Attorney Ogg stated, ‘This was a horrific crime, and it is our duty to seek justice for Jocelyn and her family.’ Nungaray’s body was discovered in a vacant lot on October 14, raising alarming concerns within the community about safety and violence among young women. Authorities revealed that Gonzalez and Nungaray had been acquaintances, with police stating that Gonzalez had initially claimed he was in a relationship with her. In a twist, cell phone records indicated that Gonzalez had a motive tied to a recent breakup, leading investigators to believe he may have been involved in the murder out of jealousy. Nungaray’s family expressed their heartbreak over the loss, describing her as a ‘loving daughter and a bright spirit.’ A memorial vigil has been planned in her honor as the case develops.
