In February, Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was jogging in a neighborhood in Georgia when a former police officer, Gregory McMichael, and his son chased him down, authorities said. After they chased down Arbery, McMichael told police, Arbery and McMichael’s son Travis struggled over his son’s shotgun. McMichael said two shots were fired before Arbery fell to the street, the report said.

According to a Glynn County Police report, Gregory McMichael later told officers that he thought Arbery looked like a person suspected in a series of recent break-ins in the area.
