A group of Caucasian men—the McMichaels and Bryan—shot and killed black man Ahmaud Arbery, 25, as he ran close to Brunswick, Georgia.

The McMichaels and Bryan chased after Arbery as he ran through the neighborhood, pinning him between two pickup trucks and then shooting him to death with a shotgun.

Moreover, Travis McMichael is charged with using a shotgun to fire at Arbery three times from a close distance. He and his father maintain that Arbery was shot in self-defense after being caught and accused of being a burglar.

One Of His Family Members Was Involved In A Heinous Crime

Speaking of his family, his father, who ought to be guiding him on the right path, was also a party to this heinous crime.

The sentences for his father, Gregory McMichael, and his neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan, who were found guilty of the same federal offenses, are scheduled to be handed out later on Monday at the same Georgia courthouse.

Besides, his father was a former police officer in Glynn County who later worked for the district attorney’s office, while Roddie Bryan’s line of work was mechanical.

Due to their convictions in state court on several offenses connected to the death of the 25-year-old Black man, including felony murder, all three are already serving life sentences.

In February, a federal jury found McMichael, his father, and Bryan guilty of the counts after adopting the prosecution’s claim that the defendants harbored racial animosity toward Arbery.

While his father, Gregory McMichael, was found guilty of using and carrying a.357 Magnum pistol, McMichael, who shot dead Arbery, was also found guilty of using and carrying a Remington shotgun.
