Social media outcry and public concern are high after the released of a graphic video showing 25 year-old Ahmaud Arbery’s murder.
Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son, Travis Michael, 34, were arrested May 7 and charged with murder and aggravated assault for the murder of Arbery according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
The arrests came two days after public outrage via social media after the release of the graphic video showing Arbery being hunted and gunned down.
Gregory McMichael told the police that he and his son grabbed their guns and chased Arbery in their truck, believing he was responsible for burglaries in their neighborhood.
Arbery died from two shotgun wounds, and suffered a third according to the Glynn County Coroner autopsy conducted Feb. 24 – the day after Arbery’s death.
