Three men face federal hate crime charges for Ahmaud Arbery’s 2020 killing that helped spark anti-racism protests.
Three white men in the US state of Georgia pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to federal hate crime charges in connection with the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was gunned down last year while jogging. Arbery was running through a south Georgia coastal community outside the town of Brunswick in February 2020 when the three men, Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael, and neighbour William “Roddie” Bryan, chased him down and killed him. The men later told police they thought he was a burglar and were seeking to make a citizen’s arrest.More Related News
