A mistrial has been declared in the case of Arizona rancher, George Alan Kelly, who was charged with fatally shooting a Mexican man on his property. Kelly, 75, had pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the January 2023 shooting of 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea. Prosecutors alleged that Kelly fired nine warning shots from an AK-47 rifle toward a group of migrants, including Cuen-Buitimea, about 100 yards away. However, Kelly claims he fired into the air and did not shoot directly at anyone. The trial has garnered significant attention due to its coincidence with the 2024 presidential election and the ongoing debate about border security.
