Jocelyn Nungaray’s Mom Tells All, Bibles in Schools, and Minute Maid's New Name

Every Friday on City Cast Houston we’re breaking down all of the big stories from the week with some of the top journalists and dynamic voices from H-Town. Today, Host Raheel Ramzanali is joined by Lucio Vasquez, reporter at Houston Public Media, and Anna-Catherine Brigida, immigration reporter at the Houston Landing. The trio start by talking about outgoing Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg charging a former director in Judge Lina Hidalgo’s administration. Then, they dive deep into Anna-Cat’s new story about Alexis Nungaray, mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, and how a call from Donald Trump after her daughter’s murder changed her life. Plus, is Texas one step closer to putting biblical teachings in public school? And, of course, they end the week with their moments of joy!
