Harris County prosecutors are expected to seek the death penalty against two men charged in the death of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, according to officials.

As Harris County DA Kim Ogg leaves office, she vowed to pursue the death penalty in a case that ignited a national debate around immigration policy.

Following through on a pledge she made months ago, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg on Friday announced her office was seeking the death penalty in the prosecution of two illegal foreign nationals from Venezuela now charged with the capital murder of a 12-year-old Houston girl.
