Travis McMichael and Gregory McMichael — the white father and son seen on video confronting Ahmaud Arbery and then shooting him — have been arrested for murder.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigations arrested Gregory McMichael and his son Travis Thursday … both have been booked on charges of murder and aggravated assault. They’ll be booked into the Glynn County Jail.
A video from the February 23 incident — which was leaked earlier this week — is haunting … showing Ahmaud out for a run before being stopped and confronted by the McMichaels. A brief struggle between Travis and Ahmaud takes place before gunfire … and Ahmaud falls to the ground.
A 911 call from that day was also released Thursday. In the call, you can hear who appears to be Gregory McMichael talking to a dispatcher, saying, “He’s running right now. There he goes right now.”
The video of the murder sparked outrage across the country, with celebrities and politicians questioning how the McMichaels were still walking free.
It wasn’t until May 5 that the district attorney formally asked the GBI to investigate the case.
