Pena told detectives he and Rangel left the bar on foot and began walking back toward their apartment. He told them they got lost along the way and ended up at the gas station where they met Jocelyn Nungaray. In the interview, Pena denied touching Jocelyn to detectives and described in graphic detail how he says Rangel killed her. He stated he asked Rangel why he shaved his beard to which Rangel replied, “So that they do not recognize me.”
The warrant also details the conversation between detectives and Johan Jose Martinez Rangel. The warrant said Rangel initially distanced himself from the commission of the murder and claimed Pena was the one solely responsible for Jocelyn’s death. After continuous denials, the warrant says Rangel eventually admitted to tying Jocelyn’s legs together and telling Pena to throw her in the bayou because the water would wash off DNA.
