An elderly Arizona border rancher faces murder charges following the shooting death of a Mexican national on the rancher’s property.
The alleged shooting took place around sunset on January 30.
In an interview with Breitbart Texas, Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Gerardo Castillo said the shooting took place on the border ranch in an area that was not close to the residence. Police were called at 5:56 p.m. Sunset on January 30 in nearby Nogales, Arizona, was 5:57 p.m. Castillo said Kelly made no statement to police and is represented by an attorney. Breitbart Texas reached out to the attorney for additional information but a return call was not received by press time.
The chief also could not reveal any other details about the shooting, citing the ongoing investigation. He added that there is normally very little violence associated with migrants crossing through the area.
