Crime
According to the DOC,Forde was the self-proclaimed leader of a private “minuteman” border monitoring group. to fund her operation, she planned to steal from a house in Arivaca owned by victim Raul Flores, a reputed drug dealer. In May 2009, Forde met with minuteman members
in Colorado, discussed her plan, and sought their help. She also sought assistance from Arivaca drug dealers Albert Gaxiola and Oin Oakstar, who had been plotting to kill Flores as a perceived rival in the drug trade.
A few days before the murders, Forde and Jason Bush, her “number two guy” in the minuteman group, met with Gaxiola and Oakstar and discussed killing Flores and stealing drugs and money. On the morning of May 29, as Oakstar, Forde, and Bush slowly drove by Flores’s home, Flores’s wife Gina and their nine-year-old daughter Brisenia were in the front yard. Gaxiola later asked Oakstar to
go with him to “take care” of Flores, but Oakstar declined, saying he was too drunk.
That night, Forde and Bush returned to Flores’s home with Gaxiola and at least one other person. Forde awakened the family by banging on the front door and shouting. When Flores opened the door,
Forde demanded entry or else, she said, “we’re going to shoot you.” Flores stepped aside, and Forde and Bush, dressed in camouflage and Bush with a blackened face, rushed in. While Bush, who was armed, stood by, Forde ordered Flores to sit near Gina, who was seated on a couch where Brisenia lay sleeping.
