Original Note:
Defense suggests cartel connection as he "had a radio with him, and he was wearing tactical boots, indicating that he was possibly involved in illegal activity". Defense claims rancher fired upon as he "spotted a 'group of men' armed with AK-47s" and "heard a single gunshot." https://lawandcrime.com/crime/innocent-arizona-rancher-files-full-throated-defense-after-mexican-national-shot-dead-on-property/
