SUMMARY: On June 16th, Joselyn sneaked out and was lured to a creek, where two men brutally assaulted and strangled her. The family debated the punishment, ultimately deciding to support the death penalty, as they feel it reflects the gravity of the crime. Her mother, Alexis, expressed anger that the suspects, Venezuelan nationals who entered the U.S. illegally, are still alive while Joselyn is not. One suspect was arrested while still wearing an ankle monitor from immigration detention. The case has gained national attention, and bond is set at $10 million for each suspect, with the DA’s office seeking the death penalty.

Two men accused in her death were accused of being in the county illegally. The victim was 12 years old.
