The second illegal alien suspect who was arrested in connection with 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray had his bail set at $10 million.

According to Fox News, Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 22, appeared in Harris County Criminal Court where his bail was set. A woman in the courtroom reportedly yelled “murderer” at him during the hearing (via Fox News):

During Tuesday's hearing, a woman yelled in Spanish "murderer" several times. When asked to leave, she yelled, "I want him to see my face," according to Fox News Correspondent Nate Foy. Nungaray's mother, Alexis Nungaray, who has called the suspects "monsters," stared at Martinez-Rangel as he left the courtroom.

"We have gotten into Martinez-Rangel's phone and found evidence that he was searching for ways to leave the country once his image was released to the media," Harris County Assistant District Attorney Megan Long revealed on Tuesday following the hearing.

Martinez-Rangel was told by a judge that if he posts bail, he must wear a GPS monitor, remain under constant house arrest in Harris County and have no contact with fellow suspect Peña Ramos or Nungaray's family, among other restrictions. The judge said any violation could potentially land him back in state custody. Peña Ramos was given the same restrictions on Monday.

Yesterday, Townhall reported how the other suspect, Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, who was arrested in connection with the murder of the 12-year-old girl, also had his bail set at $10 million.

Martinez Rangel and Pena Ramos both illegally crossed the border and were released into the United States.

To recap, Nungaray was found strangled to death in a creek in Houston, Texas. The two illegals reportedly lured the girl under a bridge and assaulted her for hours before she was killed, which Townhall covered.
