Grand jury set to decide if white ex-police officer and son should be charged over fatal shooting of unarmed black jogger in US state of Georgia
As he crosses back in front of the vehicle a gun is fired.
Mr Arbery can then be seen struggling with a man holding a rifle as a second man stands in the bed of the truck brandishing a revolver.Shared by journalist and campaigner Shaun King, the video has led to an outpouring of anger."My heart goes out to his family, who deserve justice and deserve it now. It is time for a swift, full, and transparent investigation into his murder.
Mr McMichael said he summoned his son to help chase Mr Arbery in the truck because he suspected him of being behind a series of burglaries in the area.Gregory McMichael claimed Mr Arbery began to"violently attack" Travis and fought him over the shotgun, prompting his son to open fire. It is not clear from the police report or the video if Gregory McMichael also fired any shots at Mr Arbery.
A letter obtained by the New York Times indicates the prosecutor in Brunswick argued there was not probable cause to arrest the McMichaels because they were legally carrying firearms, had a right to pursue a burglary suspect and use deadly force to protect themselves.
