A father and son were arrested and charged with murdering Ahmaud Arbery, whose shooting death in February has sparked protests, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) announced Thursday night.
Investigators said Travis McMichael, 34, was with his father Gregory, 64, when he shot and killed Arbery outside Brunswick, Ga., on Feb. 23. The McMichaels are white and Arbery was black. Video posted online by a local radio station earlier this week sparked outcry and calls for police to arrest the father and son, who had said they thought Arbery, 25, was a burglar.
The video showed a black man jogging down a residential street before encountering two white men and a pickup truck parked on the side of the road. He appeared to jog around their vehicle, into the road’s shoulder. But, as he neared the front, a gunshot rang out and the jogger was seen struggling with a man holding a shotgun or rifle.
They moved out of the frame, and another shot was heard. They came back into view, with a long-barreled gun held to the jogger’s midsection – and a third shot sounded off. Click here for more.
