The recent killing of a migrant on a rancher’s property near Nogales, Arizona, never should have happened, and there should be consequences and justice, Mexican officials said at a news conference they held Friday.
Mexican national Gabriel Cuen Buitimea, 48, was shot dead on Jan. 30. Local rancher George Alan Kelly is charged with second-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the case.

One of them testified during a Feb. 24 court hearing. Calva was speaking of the prosecution’s position in the case, which is that Kelly shot an unarmed man in the back in an unprovoked attack as he ran for his life with no warning, and that he was with a group of about eight migrants.
“We know that the defendant advocates political actions that exalt vigilante practices,” she said. “He has a published book that is still for sale that reflects this type of ideology and advocates that people take justice into their own hands.”
