Arely De Luna, the mother of Joselyn Espinoza, expressed her frustration and outrage over the fact that Ochoa, the individual accused of her daughter’s murder, is out on a $50,000 bond, while her family is still struggling to cover funeral expenses. “How is it possible that this murderer is out on bond until his next court date on December 3rd?” she asked.

De Luna urged the prosecutor at the 209th District Court to either upgrade the charges immediately or bring Ochoa back to court before the December hearing. “My daughter deserves justice. My granddaughter is devastated, knowing that her mother is never coming back.”

She called the decision to release Ochoa on bond “an insult and a slap in the face,” expressing fear for her and her family’s safety now that Ochoa is free. De Luna emphasized that it feels as though the prosecutor is more concerned about Ochoa and his family than the victims. “I will not sit by and do nothing,” she declared.

De Luna also noted that, before Ochoa was taken into custody, there had been suspicious activity around her home, with cars driving by slowly and parking outside for extended periods. These vehicles had no tags and would speed away after a while. “I felt a little more at peace when he was in custody, but not anymore.”

She concluded by vowing to take action after her daughter’s burial, saying, “I will make as many phone calls, visit as many places, and do whatever it takes to put you back in jail.
