Arbery, 25, was jogging on Feb. 23 when he was confronted by 64-year-old Gregory McMichael and his son, 34-year-old Travis McMichael, who followed him in their truck.reports that Gregory -- a former law enforcement officer -- told police that they thought Arbery was a burglary suspect and ordered him to stop. According to the police report, he claimed Arbery"violently" attacked his son and that they fought over the shotgun before Travis shot him twice.
No arrests have been made, and Arbery's parents and supporters have been calling for the McMichaels' arrests. Tom Durden, the district attorney of the Atlantic Judicial Circuit who was put in charge of the case after two prosecutors recused themselves due to possible conflict of interests, said he wants a grand jury to decide whether criminal charges are warranted, which won't happen until Georgia courts reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic.
I made this video for JusticeForAhmaudArbery. It's worth the 4-minute watch.
I’m glad that many celebrities are also speaking out about the senseless shooting of AhmaudArbrey. Now that the two people involved have been arrested, questions need to be asked about why the authorities took too long to respond.
More celebrities are speaking out about the death of Ahmaud Arbery.
