On February 23, 2020, 25 year-old Ahmaud Arbery was chased and gunned down by Travis McMichael, son of retired Brunswick investigator Greg McMichael, under the father’s and son’s pretenses of witnessing a burglary in Satilla Shores of Glynn County.
McMichael’s account of the deadly encounter with Arbery was not released until nearly 6 weeks following the shooting.
In addition; McMichael’s questionable account of events and the police department’s poor communication efforts following Arbery’s death leads us to believe that Arbery was a victim of racial profiling.
No one has the right to pursue, attack and kill an unarmed, non-threatening individual. Ahmaud’s voice will be heard.
In an effort to seek justice, please sign the petition expressing your concern.

As a Black man in this country our life will always be in danger. We did not ask for any of this stuff. We want to live in peace but we know that can’t happen because we in live in the United State of America where a Black man have to his back anytime, where he or she always will believe that today might be my last time in this earth. And not because it’s my time to go but a white will shot me and will get away with it for free.
