Two men were arrested Thursday in connection with the death of a 12-year-old Texas girl whose body was found Monday in a creek, Houston officials announced.

Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, had sneaked out of her home on Sunday night and was last seen on surveillance footage entering a 7-Eleven just after midnight, officials said at a news conference. In the video, she is seen talking to two men.

Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, who were roommates, have been arrested under a preliminary charge of capital murder in the case, according to Houston authorities. The two had yet to be booked on any charges as of Thursday afternoon.

Alexis Nungaray told Houston TV station KPRC that she last saw her daughter before 10 p.m. Sunday but noticed her missing the following day, at about 6 a.m.
