Victims
Raul Junior Flores, 29
Brisenia Ylianna Flores, 9
Gina Gonzalez, (survived)
This case was big in the media, especially with political groups. One thing that needs to be said up front is that the Flores family was NOT here illegally. They were all born in Arizona, making them American citizens. Many groups, even on television, stated that the family was illegal so Shawna Forde and her co-defendants had every right to kill them. This is false on so many levels. All 3 defendants were found guilty. Two, Shawna Ford and Jason Bush, were sentenced to death. Albert Robert Gaxiola was sentence to two life sentences without parole.
