New search warrants show that the men accused of murdering 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray may be members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

Franklin Pena, 26, and Johan Martinez-Rangel, 22, were charged with murder last month in connection with Nungaray’s killing.

According to the documents, Pena and Rangel abducted the 12-year-old and caused her death by putting pressure on her neck. The two are also accused of sexually assaulting her before leaving her body under a bridge.

The new search warrants related to the alleged gang involvement were filed in Harris County District Court and obtained by FOX 26 Houston.

The men’s alleged association with the gang, also known as TdA, was discovered following a search of their social media accounts.

The TikTok account believed to be associated with Rangel had used ninja, crossed swords and classic building emojis known to be associated with the gang. TikTok did not immediately respond to a request from Fox News Digital for comment on the new search warrants.

Investigators also observed a video of Rangel “wearing Jordans and Gucci,” brands also associated with the gang.

Pena’s TikTok account contained photos showing tattoos known to be associated with the TdA gang, including a star on each shoulder and a rose tattoo on his hand. He was seen on video wearing Air Jordan and Chicago Bulls clothing, the search warrant states.

“I believe that Johan Jose Martinez Rangel and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos used multiple social media applications and accounts to communicate with gang members about gang activities,” one of the investigators wrote in a search warrant.

The search warrant requests additional data from the suspects’ phones and social media accounts to uncover additional evidence linking the men to their alleged act of capital murder.
