The white man who shot and murdered Ahmaud Arbery reportedly uttered the n-word over his dead body, according to a Georgia Bureau Investigator who testified during a preliminary hearing on Thursday, NBC News reports.
Special agent Richard Dial gave his account, revealing that William “Roddie” Bryan, the man who recorded the video and was later arrested in connection with Abrery’s death, told Dial he heard Travis McMichael say “f—–ng N-word” moments after firing the fatal shot.
Bryan, 50, along with father-son duo Gregory McMichael, 64, and Travis McMichael, 34, were arrested last month after Arbery was senselessly killed on February 23 while jogging in a Brunswick, Georgia, neighborhood.
The McMichaels were arrested on May 7, the same week the video of Arbery’s death went viral, prompting the arrest.
Dial also says the evidence shows Arbery was hit with the McMicahels’ truck prior to his death.
