Shawna Forde’s Co-Defendant Convicted of Murder

The Phoenix New Times reports that Shawna Forde’s co-defendant, Jason Eugene Bush, was found guilty late last week in a Pima County Superior Court for the murders of Raul “Junior” Flores and his 9-year-old daughter, Brisenia, at their home in Arivaca, Arizona.  

Last month, Forde, a founder of the Minutemen American Defense, was sentenced to death for her role in the murders. Following the murders, Forde told authorities she planned to take the group to “the next level” by leading a raid on the Flores home looking for drugs and money to fund the group.

Bush, like Forde, will be eligible for the death penalty if the jury finds that aggravators are proven.
