In March 2009, border activist Shawna Forde led a home invasion raid in Arivaca, Ariz. - about 10 miles north of the Mexican border - that left 29-year old Raul Flores and his 9-year-old daughter Brisenia dead, prosecutors alleged.
Forde, the leader of the anti-illegal immigrant group Minutemen American Defense, allegedly posed as a police officer looking for fugitives along with two accomplices, CBS affiliate KOLD reported. Then, prosecutors said, the group opened fire.
The mother of the slain 9-year-old, Gina Gonzalez, survived and called 911.
Prosecutors reportedly said that Forde believed Flores was a drug smuggler and wanted his money to fund Forde's border watch operation.
Forde was sentenced to death on February 22, 2011.
