A jury in the death penalty trial of Ralph Flores, 26, an Azusa 13 gang member recommended Tuesday he be put to death, officials said.

A defense attorney for Flores tried to sway jurors to vote against the Death Penalty by using the lingering doubt argument, which is allowed in California criminal trials.

The attorney was apparently unsuccessful.
