Ahmaud Arbery was out for a jog in the Satilla Shores neighborhood, a largely residential area near Brunswick, Georgia, when an encounter with neighborhood residents turned deadly. The three men—Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael, and a neighbor, William 'Roddie' Bryan—claimed they believed Arbery was involved in a series of local break-ins. They armed themselves and pursued him in a pickup truck. When Arbery attempted to evade them, the McMichaels cut him off with their vehicle. A confrontation ensued, during which Travis McMichael shot Arbery with a shotgun, fatally wounding him.The incident, initially reported as a self-defense claim, gained national attention after a video surfaced online showing the confrontation. The footage, which depicted Arbery's final moments, sparked outrage across the nation and ignited a conversation about racial profiling, gun rights, and systemic racism in America. Public outcry led to protests, eventually resulting in the arrest of the three men several months later, as calls for justice echoed nationwide and within the Arbery family, advocating for accountability in law enforcement and the judicial system.
