Arivaca suspect tied to 1997 slaying

WENATCHEE, Wash. — One of the three people arrested in an Arizona home invasion that left a little girl and her father dead has been charged with the 1997 slaying of an Hispanic man in Wenatchee.

A second-degree murder charge was filed Friday in Chelan County Superior Court against 34-year-old Jason Eugene Bush in the stabbing death of Hector Lopez Partida.

Police allege that Bush was linked to the 1997 killing through DNA evidence and that he had ties to Aryan Nation groups.

Bush and two others are charged with murder in Arivaca in a May 30 home invasion that wounded a woman and killed her husband and their 9-year-old daughter.

Police allege the group had connections to an anti-illegal immigration group that conducts border watches in Arizona.
