Ahmaud Marquez Arbery of Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia, United States lost his life on the afternoon of February 23, 2020. That day, he was jogging on Holmes Road just before entering its intersection with Satilla Drive in the Satilla Shores, a suburban subdivision near his home on the outskirts of Brunswick.

Two white men namely Gregory McMichael, then 64, and his son Travis McMichael, then 34, spotted Arbery then jumped into their white pickup truck and chased the African-American man. Three break-ins or thefts were reported in that area from December 2019 to January 2020.

Armed with a shotgun, Travis ambushed Arbery and shot him three times while Gregory, who was armed with a .357 Magnum revolver, stood nearby in the truck bed. On May 7, 2020, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation detained Gregory and Travis and charged them with felony murder and aggravated assault.

According to Gregory, Arbery resembled the suspect in a series of break-ins in the Satilla Shores neighborhood. The former cop informed his son and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan Jr., then 50, before pursuing the African-American man.

Bryan recorded the fatal shooting of Arbery using a cellphone from his vehicle. On May 21, 2020, the neighbor of the McMichaels was arrested and charged with felony murder and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment.
