An Arizona rancher who has been charged with second-degree murder in the killing of an illegal immigrant on his property told a 911 dispatcher not to send an ambulance to the scene.

The New York Post obtained and published the call and an additional conversation between a U.S. Border Patrol agent and a dispatcher with the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office.

The calls were both made in relation to the Jan. 30 death of Mexican national Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, 48, on the ranch of George Kelly, 74.

Kelly was initially charged with first-degree murder in Cuen-Buitimaa’s death, but the charge was later downgraded to second-degree murder. He was released from jail after posting a $1 million bond.

In a roughly 90-second call between the Border Patrol agent and the dispatcher, the agent said he believed Kelly had been “intentionally vague” in a call to the agency’s ranch liaison.

The agent said Kelly had merely uttered he had “struck something.” The agent also said the rancher had called the liaison earlier in the day, according to the report.

The Post also obtained the 911 call the rancher made to the sheriff’s office that day.
