TUCSON - A jury in Tucson has sentenced a second border activist to death in the killings of an Arivaca man and his young daughter in May 2009.

A supervisor in the Pima County Attorney's Office says 36-year-old Jason Bush was sentenced to die Wednesday by lethal injection for the killings of 29-year-old Raul Junior Flores and his 9-year-old daughter Brisenia Flores.

The Washington state man was convicted March 25 of two counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors alleged that he and two others dressed as law enforcement officers forced their way into the victims' home.

The Arizona Daily Star reports Bush was part of Minutemen American Defense founder Shawna Forde's plan to rob and kill drug smugglers to fund her organization.

The 43-year-old Forde was convicted and sentenced to death in February.
