Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, charged with murdering Mexican national Gabriel Cuen Buitimea, faces trial that is set for jury selection on Thursday.

An Arizona rancher charged with murder in the death of a Mexican national found shot to death on his border property is scheduled to face trial on Thursday after several delays. The case of the State of Arizona v. George Alan Kelly is scheduled to begin jury selection at 8:30 a.m. local time on Thursday in Santa Cruz Superior Court, according to court records. The parties most recently had a pre-trial conference on Monday, in which they went over jury instructions.

Prosecutors have painted a different account of events. The state argued that Kelly recklessly fired an AK-47 rifle toward a group of unarmed migrants who were walking through his nearly 170-acre cattle ranch in the Kino Springs area from about 100 yards away when Buitimea was struck and killed.
