Travis McMichael, one of the three men arrested for the murder of unarmed Black jogger, Ahmaud Arbery, allegedly called Arbery a “f*cking n*gger” after shooting and killing him according to Richard Dial, of Georgia’s Bureau of Investigation.
Dial revealed the shocking news during a preliminary hearing in a Brunswick court. The GBI was called in to investigate the racially charged killing.
He also states that Travis used the word on at least two other occasions. “One particular one that comes to mind was he made the statement that he loved his job because he’s out on a boat and there aren’t any n-words anywhere,” Dial said per NBC News.
Travis’ father Gregory McMichael, 64, and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, 50 also face charges over Arbery’s killing.
On another occasion, he reportedly commented on an Instagram post stating that it would have been better if somebody would have just “blown the f*cking n-word’s head off.
