Correction: An earlier version of the article referred to George Alan Kelly as David.
Rancher George Alan Kelly, who faces charges in a deadly shooting on his property, was released on bond Thursday.
According to a Santa Cruz County court spokesperson, the 73-year—old rancher was released from jail just after noon.
Kelly is charged with killing 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Butimea last month at his Kino Springs property.
Cuen-Butimea is from Nogales, Son.
Kelly says he saw a group of camouflaged men carrying AK-47s on his land and that he heard a gunshot.
Kelly said he called his Border Patrol ranch liaison.
He then went outside and fired shots over the heads of the men in order to protect his property and family.
