Two Men Arrested and Charged in Killing of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia

Two white men have been arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault in the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, in southern Georgia.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation took Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son, Travis McMichael, 34, into custody Thursday evening, according to a statement from the statewide law enforcement agency. The arrests came after a video showing the two men’s Feb. 23 encounter with Mr. Arbery circulated on social media and sparked a national outcry.
