Three men have been indicted on murder charges in the death of Ahmaud Arbery.
Greg McMichael, 64, his son, Travis McMichael, 34, and William “Roddie†Bryan Jr. were indicted by a grand jury on charges including malice and felony murder, Joyette Holmes, the district attorney of Cobb County, announced on Wednesday.
Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was shot to death on Feb. 23 after he was confronted by the McMichaels, two white men who claimed at the time that they were trying to conduct a citizen's arrest because they believed Arbery was the suspect in a series of local robberies.
The father and son were not arrested until May, shortly after the release of the video footage taken by Bryan Jr.
