YAKIMA -- A man facing a murder charge in the death of a Sunnyside girl may also face the death penalty.
Jesus Perales is accused of killing 14 year-old Francisca Ramirez. Police say Perales stabbed Ramirez because she had planned to make rape accusations. The yakima county prosecutor's office says that makes Perales eligible for the death penalty.
Ramirez's family supports that punishment, should Perales be found guilty.
"That's basically what we want, he needs to pay for what he did to my sister, and hopefully justice will do that," says the victim's brother, David Bravo.
Perales' arraignment was rescheduled for next week. The prosecutor may make a decision on the death penalty soon.
