Published August 21, 2015 8:09am MST

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - Jury deliberations are underway for a man accused of killing his half-brother and nephew.

Prosecutors say Christopher Licon killed Angel Jaquez over a drug dispute in 2010.

Licon then killed Jaquez's 6-year-old son, Xavier, because he witnessed the dispute.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, but Licon is pursuing an insanity defense and hopes to be sentenced to a mental hospital.
