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.

That's a bull...* charge.

It's injustice what happened to this Rancher. While he defended himself & Fam. against a threat and possible harm. So now criminals & trespasser with intent have more rights than law abiding citizens. That's why dems are hell bent to takeaway the guns of law-abiding citizens.

I would be happy to be on that jury….just sayin…

There should be a nation wide outrage, what the gov. is doing to this citizen, defended him & fam. against a treath, a savage who committed a crime. More citizens living on the Border should do the same. How about if I walk on to Joe's property while he is residing in Will.

I am so glad that he took out one of the maggots invading our great country. Thank you brow!!!

He had the right

Was he threatened, was it self defense...did congress change the law?

Let him go Biden It's because of you these people are coming over. You're the one that should be charged with the crime.

What a disgrace , just like everything in our messed up states of America. I am actually very ashamed of my country. This man had every right to defend his property. It's sickening!!

This is total BS! It could of been cartel - drug carriers, criminals coming from everywhere! They should not of been on his land, tx to Biden's BS! He's elderly and probably can't protect his land & family any other way!He should NOT be prosecuted! The criminal has more rights!!

I'm sure it was self defense these are illegals think that they are entitled to everything probably including his cattle, his home and everything else he owns.

How can he be charged when an undocumented illegal alien doesn't exist here?

break the law and trespass, get the results of your choice. no tears here.

SET HIM FREE

Here comes the media to destroy him because he defended his property.

Wait there's no private land ownership in Arizona?

Invaders are apparently protected criminals.... The right to defend person and property? This Regime has cancelled the Bill of Rights...

Surprised it hasn't happened much sooner?

He should be released without charges the illegal is the criminal not the property owner no trespassing means no trespassing

Was the person breaking the law by being on this individual’s property? Oh he’s in the country illegally? Simple answer

He should be rewarded

This is how you handle an invasive species.

It was just a matter of time. Who didn’t see this coming?!

need more details but... let's face it, liberals running the nation...means America is sinking like the Titanic.

This is bullshit! I pray this man gets justice! We are all doomed.

FREE GEORGE KELLY!

if AZ trespassing law says can remove someone from property, then why is he in jail and being charged? did that law get amended?

The old American is in good faith because he is protecting his property and family from intruders and you can’t blame him for a quick response to incoming danger at his age.

If the government is putting Americans in harms way we have no choice but to protect ourselves and our property from invasion and threats

🤬🤬🤬

Arizona is becoming a really effed up state!

I stand with him!! Shoot the thief's!

need more context but if this old man is protecting his property he should be given a medal. i feel sorry for the mexican but they already knew that texans have guns and its within their rights to use it. he should be creeping around someone else's property.

Ridiculous

I thought Arizona had the 'castle law' on the books? And now he can not protect his wife living alone there?

It'll be interesting to hear the American national's side of the story

If that illeagle had killed him he'd get a seat at the white house for supper.

This is bullshit bro

If the Mexican national is found to be an illegal ima grant then all charges should be dropped.. I have no problem and promote the actiactually

They are taking away our right to self-defense while releasing criminals.

Brandon loves this if it might protect sneak-ins.

The government should be charged for not securing the border.

You can only shoot trespassers at US capital protesting.

Not enough information. What does the accused say?

Wow

That’s unbelievable! How many illegals have murdered Americans?

This does not seem right. There has to be more to this…

Sounds like a good shooting.

We should all be on the border, protecting our freedom and way of life. 3rd world conditions are already here it only gets worse from here on out

This is FUBAR Joe’s fault. I understand that ranchers are frustrated, angry, and fed up with illegals trespassing and such and this should not be happening at all.

Probably self defense. The migrants break into homes with people in them. Close the damn border!

Hero

The American especially, white gets blamed. Biden started all of this.

A TOTAL MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE!

How can we help?

Trespassers will be shot. Set the guy free.

Let him go, he’s rightfully protecting himself and his property from invaders. So if China invades and citizens start taking them out, will they be charged with murder also?

Wow. Someone finally steps up yo protect his property, life, and country and they call it murder. What B.S.

Outrageous

This is just another example of hard working Americans unable & unbacked to protect hard won accomplishments..the Mexican national was identified by a Mexican voter ID, not an American one; illegal, trespassing and lord knows how threatening…

What are the circumstances?

This is absurd! Defending himself is an innocent act

An illegal alien you mean.

Ahh and the Mexican had a voter registration card - isn't that racist ? Lol - btw if the government under Biden would do it's job - this does not have to happen. The government should be on trial here !!!

You mean he shot an invador? He will go free

Absolutely Disgusting and unconscionable

This is pathetic. Release the man and give him an award.

No loss

He is doing the governments job and they hate him for it.

He's should get a reward... he's a hero...

Dammit. This is infuriating. It's funny how I don't see the first person stepping up to post this man's bail. But at every turn a career criminal is either being immediately released after being charged OR they get their bail posted by some celebrity or millionaire!!

I hope everything goes well in the Rancher's favor.

Trespassing with criminal intent, who knows what kind of weapon nor who might have been lurking and covering for him. The rancher is in the right

Give him a medal 🏅

Well what he is supposed to do if he calls for help, and it's an hour more response, because all of the police are assisting at the border, and being pulled away from their jobs protecting citizens, because Biden won't help.

One reason why he's facing charges , he's WHITE .

This man is going to get the electric chair, for he killed a democrat voter as he was illegally entering the USA

Free this man

That's 🐂 crap. For pitty sake, is this America or not!

Line this MAGA goon against that wall, and have some fun with those AK-47's 😅🤠😆

Crowd funding for legal defense POST IT please.

I hope this works out for the rancher.

...shooting death of an illegal alien trespasser...

Mexican national 🤔

🤬 He should NOT be on trial for protecting his property! What the hell is this Country coming to?!

The arresting officers and the prosecutor should be delivered to a Mexican drug cartale, then see how fast this crap stops.

I support the rancher

I agree. I own land. Doesn’t give me the Right to get on my roof with a sniper rifle and shoot anyone who steps on my property. Now if he was defending himself. That’s different.

Ridiculous! Finally someone stands up to the invasion of our country and he is charged with murder. In this case, millions of Americans should stand. They can’t imprison all of us.

1st Degree Murder? That’s overcharging to be sure. Unless this is the same guy who created a jab in his lab designed to kill millions who were terrified of catching a bad cold.

No justice for Americans!

Defend and conquer!

God be with him.

Donating to his defense fund now.

😬😠💩

She have grabbed the shovel and just buried him and walked away.

Well, now we know to shoot then bury… desert is a big area

Hero

This will start happening more often until we secure our border.

set him free

But if you do the same exact thing in Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Houston, or LA you have no charges and are set free.

This guy is a hero.

This administration is for illegal aliens, not Americans.

This shit is unbelievable

This is completely wrong. We have a right to protect our land. We need to stand with this man and his family.

BS

His bail was set at $1 million. If we only had a President who would just follow the laws this wouldn’t even be possible 1 million cash bail? Known criminals and domestic terrorist and illegals get off with out any penalties for crimes worse then this. Don’t know the motive but this guy would still be alive if he didn’t invade the US through the southern border and trespass on someone property. Hoping this rancher sues Biden for allowing the ILLEGAL alien into the country so they could attack this man. Does anybody even get what it's like here in Arizona? Have a ranch or a farm?
