Ahmaud Arbery killing: man called 911 to report 'black male running' prior to shooting

[WellPreserved]

"Audio recordings of two 911 calls have shed further light on the final moments before Ahmaud Arbery was shot dead by two white men while jogging through a neighborhood just outside Brunswick, Georgia.

The full recordings, obtained by the Guardian, come after new video footage showing Arbery’s killing in February was released this week, prompting widespread outrage and raising questions over why no arrests have been made. Transcripts of the 911 calls have been previously reported by local media.

Arbery had gone for a jog in Satilla Shores, near the Georgia coast, on the afternoon of Sunday 23 February. The 25-year-old was known around the neighborhood, and would sometimes wave to residents as he ran. But that day, a series of events unfolded that ended in his killing at the hands of Gregory McMichael, 64, and his 34-year-old son, Travis McMichael.

Lawyers for Arbery’s family have said his death was a “lynching” and requested it be investigated as a hate crime."

The father and son involved in this need to be detained. I'm not surprised by the family's reaction.

The two losers gave a story that they were defending themselves and didn't shoot until he "attacked". No charges filed. And then the video comes out. They ambushed him and got out of their truck with shotguns in their hands.

I wonder no arrests has anything to do with the older one, an active part of Trump's base before he deleted social media, working in law enforcement for 30 years.

They need to fry those two for what they've done. Include everyone else who condoned it by not bringing justice to this when it happened.

I saw the video and I am incredibly sorry that his family had to see that. I’m sick of people like them and Zimmerman using this vigilante bullshit to excuse killing men in cold blood.

They had no business confronting him at all.

The fact this happened months ago and nothing has been done is appalling.

From what I’m reading LE has had this video the entire time. I definitely think there should be some charges filed for this obvious cover up. I wonder if anything will ever come of it.

The GBI is now involved and investigating. They were just arrested.

This is Travon Martin all over again. These forking 'stand your ground' laws need to be tightened up. I hope this man's family gets the justice that Travon's family did not get.
