Alexis Nungaray, the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, was one of several “everyday Americans” seated alongside First Lady Melania Trump at the event.
“Alexis is an angel mom and the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl who was murdered by two illegal aliens during a walk to a corner store,” the First Lady said in a statement ahead of the address.
“The Biden administration apprehended and released these vicious illegal aliens into the country just weeks before Jocelyn’s murder,” the statement read.
Jocelyn Nungaray was murdered on June 16, 2024. She had snuck out of her home around 10 PM and was later found dead in a ditch near her home the next morning. The investigation revealed that she was sexually assaulted and strangled by two Venezuelan nationals, Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, who had entered the US illegally.
