*The mother of
Ahmaud Arbery filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging police and prosecutors attempted to “cover up” her son’s murder.Â
Arbery is the 25-year-old Black man who was pursued by three suspected white supremacists and fatally shot last year while jogging through a Georgia neighborhood. At one point along his route, he stopped to check out a house under construction — and by doing so, two local men concluded he was criminal.Â
Arbery was shot dead by father and son
Gregory and
Travis McMichael.
William “Roddie” Bryan has insisted that he was simply a witness to the McMichaels hunting down and killing Arbery on February 23, claiming he had zero involvement with the slaying. He was arrested following public outcry over his cell phone footage which captured Arberyâs killing and catapulted the case into the national spotlight.
