An Arizona rancher is set to go on trial in the fatal shooting of a migrant on his property near Mexico

An Arizona rancher goes on trial Friday in the fatal shooting of a migrant on his property near Mexico as the national debate over border security heats up ahead of this year's presidential election. George Alan Kelly, 75, has been charged with second-degree murder in the killing of a man he encountered on his property outside Nogales, Arizona. The trial in Santa Cruz County Superior Court is expected to last up to a month.

The other migrants weren’t injured and managed to escape back to Mexico. Cuen-Buitimea also entered the U.S. illegally several times and was convicted and deported, most recently in 2016, court records show. The case is being watched closely by the Mexican consulate in Nogales, Arizona, which has been in contact with the victim's family.
