SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, Ariz. — Witness testimony began Tuesday in the second degree murder trial of Santa Cruz County rancher George Alan Kelly. Kelly is charged with shooting and killing an undocumented border crosser passing through his ranch.
Kelly is charged with firing at least nine shots from an AK-47 assault rifle in the direction of Gabriel Cuen Buitimea and another man as they moved south across Kelly’s ranch towards Mexico. Prosecutors say one of those shots killed Cuen Buitimea who was not moving towards Kelly and presented no threat.
Because the fatal shot went through the man and kept going, the bullet was never recovered so it was never tested for a match to Kelly’s gun.
