Arizona rancher charged with murder for shooting Mexican national 150ft from US border

An Arizona cattle rancher has been charged with first-degree murder and had his bail set at $1 million after he allegedly killed a Mexican national, who was likely in the country illegally, on his ranch just 150 feet from the US border.

George Alan Kelly, 73, is accused in the Jan. 30 killing of Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, 48, on his property just outside Nogales, Ariz., the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s office said.

Officials believe Cuen-Butimea was a Mexican citizen because of a Mexican voter registration card he carried.

He was living at the time in Nogales, Mexico — separated by the border from the Arizona town by the same name.

Cuen-Butimea had a history of illegally crossing the border and had been deported back to Mexico multiple times, most recently in 2016, according to federal documents obtained by the Daily Mail.
