‘Took away my first born’: Mother of 12-year-old girl gives details night before daughter’s death

she was Goofy she always had her own little spunk she never followed the crowd she always stood up for what was right just it's this hard it's so hard how have the past few days been for you as it's like not real like I I I keep hearing everything and and I keep um hearing everybody told me everything and it I hear it and I I hear it and it's just it's not registering it doesn't register at all it's just like I feel like I'm in an alternate universe where I'm just living this ongoing nightmare that just doesn't stop and and it's I don't think it'll really hit me until I have to see oh god um and when was the last time you saw saw her and spoke to her before I went to bed Sunday night told her not to stay up late um she was going to come with me to work she said okay good night and you know what did you think when you learned or how were you notified that she was found our cat was going crazy at 3:00 in the morning and she's usually with her and um I just thought that you know maybe she's asleep not giving her attention and I didn't really think nothing of it um and I woke up at 6:30 normal shower went to their room she shares the room with her brother to wake up her 5-year-old brother get him dressed for daycare and his phone was missing I went to go look for her to get his phone looked on the couch looked in her bed her closet her bathroom room didn't see her I walked around the complex didn't see her just walked around quickly got in my car and just I pinged her phone and it pinged right over there and I ran that's what I saw C and officers and I ran up to him told him my daughter was missing he wouldn't tell me anything wasn't until an hour later I got called to the go downtown to talk about her whereabouts and that's when I was given the information they found her that morning so sorry and you know HPD has released photos of the possible um suspects or Person of Interest do you recognize those two men I have no clue um I do know the um the apartment complex we live in is Latino based and based off the picture they look like Hispanics they they could have came from the skate park they could have been from the complex but I don't know who they are and I I just hope I hope that they're F because she na was a fighter she fought hard and um she she needs Justice she didn't deserve this um he needs to be rested at peace and those two men are out there right now what would you want them to know who took away my first born I was a Teen Mom she's who helped me grow mature she was turning into such a beautiful beautiful young lady I me and her have gone through a lot these past few months with her mental health and I was really looking forward to seeing how she was going to be they took every opportunity away from me from our family so sorry I hope they come forward and I hope the universe gives them one so and and I know she was on the phone with her boyfriend when she was up here the 7-Eleven H yeah have you been able to talk to him or know what they talked about I have no clue I don't I don't have his phone number his phone number was in her phone and it's still with them and um evidence and um I I don't know much I just know what the sergeant has been telling me um I have her Instagram logged in on my account and um try leing out I'm going to try to reach out again just to hear from him what did he hear you know hearing that he heard her talking to adults then wasn't said what was said but I need to know what was said I need to know what he heard cuz reading the message threads that he left her when she wasn't responding it made me feel like he had a gut feeling something was wrong so yeah and did he did she tell him she was meeting these people or that was he familiar with them no no she just say she was just walking around different stores don't know why what possessed her to walk around late at night in this area of all places I've always told her to never leave the house never leave unattended always be safe there's people around here that are crazy I just don't think she ever thought it would face her Alexis get it you want Justice for your daughter I want Justice for everything I want them to face everything they put her through and more and worse I want I want Karma to hit them I want I'm like angry that they just they took advantage of her she's so young 12 I want Justice I want them to come forward I want Whoever has seen them please You Took My Baby Away you took her away now I get to let a brother know the sister there to coming home the police what they mention about the case what they called you with any news um just with what they they give me the information that's right before given to the news so they'll tell me and let me know it's going to be aired like all I know was the surveillance pictures that I saw um and just the basics of that they haven't really given me much information if somebody sees them recognize them and maybe they're terrified to report out to police for any reason please don't please don't it could have been your sister your niece your granddaughter your daughter your best friend I don't I wouldn't I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy nobody deserves to lose a child no one deserves to bury their [Music] child it's hard are you concerned because this man is still out there I am because if they were if they were so open to do it to a little girl they could do it to anybody else again and nobody nobody needs to be put through that again nobody needs to go through what my family's going through how do you want Jocelyn to be remembered I was a girl with smunk she had a beautiful spile smile goofy loving she um she was asked one time if there's one thing she could change anything what would it be and her answer was she would make sure every stray animal have home and make sure that they all have somewhere loving to beat there would be no more animals on the streets that's the kind of girl she was she wanted to save any any hurt Birds any hurt dogs cats anything she just she had the biggest heart biggest heart and you said she had a cat that was kind of acting crazy cuz she wasn't there yeah um she just was I could left my door open that night which I normally don't leave my door open and um she was just everywhere going crazy at like 3:00 in the morning and I don't know around the time she left I fell asleep pretty fast um after 10:00 so anytime between 10 and maybe midnight is when she could have left somewhere do you think that maybe these people approached her before through social media or something I have no clue I know anyone that looks off to her on social media she won't talk to she'll just think it's weird and like brush it away but she's I've always known her to not be comfortable with going to people she doesn't know like she she always has that intuition gut feeling and I think she had it and the way they they chose to take her life she had to been fighting very hard to stay did they share circumstances surrounding her death or anything like that um that's what's been posting on to the news that's it yeah okay what do you want from the police especially now the cas is still ongoing we saw the pictures of these people but there's no arrest so far and there's no identity of these people what would you like for them to do I just pray that they really just keep the city of Houston actively I'm I'm Blown Away with the amount of support our fam is getting it's um somebody's going to catch them someone's going to see them I I believe I have faith I put it all in God Jesus Christ they are going to be found they going to be somebody someone somewhere is going to see them and say something I believe it and everyone's going to come together as the community to bring Justice for my baby how was the last conversation that you've had with her on Sunday Father's Day um it was good we had just came back from a family vacation with all our family we came back um got home kind of me started doing laundry she got into her Summer School uh School online before we got home she was like really want McDonald's got her her favorite meal and then it was her last meal what would you think she left with me you said what why do you think that she left the house without not telling your it was normal it was the first time she 12 Preen she you know being a teenager try to sneak out I believe we've all been there at some point being young dumb making dumb decisions thinking nothing's really going to happen um and just unfortunately her making this decision costed her her life I don't think she meant to I really I really think she meant to come home she just got put in a situation she couldn't get out of thank you so God bless you
