'Please don't shoot me:' Girl, nine, begged for her life before she and her father were shot dead by 'anti-immigrant vigilantes' Victim: Brisenia Flores was shot dead alongside her father in her home in Flores, Arizona A nine-year-old girl begged for her life before being shot dead along with her father by an anti-immigrant vigilante group, a court heard. Brisenia Flores was gunned down at point-blank range in her own home in Flores, Arizona, as her terrified mother Gina Gonzalez, who had also been hit, played dead on the floor. She sobbed as the court was told how she had heard Brisenia's desperate pleas as her killer stood over her. 'I can hear it happening,' Mrs Flores told the court describing how her daughter said: 'Why did you shoot my dad? Why did you shoot my mum?' 'I can hear her telling him to "please don't shoot me."' The prosecution alleges that the child and her father Raul Flores Jr were murdered in May 30, 2009 by a group of vigilantes set up to tackle Mexican immigrants. The shootings took place 200 miles from Tucson, the scene of the gun massacre earlier this month in which another nine-year-old girl died. Shawna Forde, the head of the Minutemen American Defence group, is on trial accused of two charges of first degree murder. She is allegedly orchestrated the attack on the Flores family with two male accomplices, due to face face court in.March. Police claim that Forde believed Mr Flores was a drug trafficker and would have cash and goods in the house which they could use to fund their patrols. She reportedly led the raid and gave instructions to the male accomplices.
