JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A trial is set to begin this week for a former Arizona state lawmaker accused of killing a man on a hunting and fishing trip in Alaska.

Prosecutors say Mark Desimone shot and killed Duilio Antonio "Tony" Rosales in May 2016 outside of Juneau after a day that included drinking. Authorities have not disclosed an alleged motive.

Jury selection is expected to start Monday.

Rosales appeared to have been shot twice in the back of the head as he sat on a picnic bench removing his boots at Excursion Inlet, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northwest of Juneau, according to court documents filed by prosecutors.

By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
