An Arizona judge has declared a mistrial in the case of a rancher accused of fatally shooting a Mexican man on his property near the U.S.-Mexico border. The decision came after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict after more than two full days of deliberation in the trial of George Alan Kelly, 75, who was charged with second-degree murder in the Jan. 30, 2023, shooting of Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea. The Santa Cruz County Attorney’s Office can still decide whether to retry Kelly for any charges or drop the case altogether. During the trial, prosecutors argued that Kelly recklessly fired nine shots from an AK-47 rifle toward a group of men, including Cuen-Buitimea, about 100 yards away on his cattle ranch. However, Kelly maintained that he only fired warning shots in the air and did not shoot directly at anyone. The case has drawn widespread attention due to its occurrence during a presidential election year with heightened interest in border security.
