Mother seeks justice after son shot while jogging in Brunswick, pair involved in killing not arrested

It’s been over two months since a young black man jogging in Brunswick, Ga., was gunned down by two white men who said they thought he was a possible burglar.

Ahmaud Arbery’s mother wants to know where is the justice.

“I just think about how they could allow these two men to kill my son and not be arrested, that’s what I can’t understand,” Wanda Cooper told news partner First Coast News.

A police report states about 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, Glynn County officers responded to Satilla and Holmes drives where shots were fired. They found Arbery, 25, dead on the scene.

Gregory McMichael, who worked several years for the Brunswick Police Department before serving as an investigator in the Brunswick District Attorney’s Office, told police there were several break-ins in the neighborhood. He said he saw Arbery running down Satilla Drive and asked his son Travis McMichael to help him confront him.

McMichael and his son got a shotgun and handgun because they “didn’t know if Arbery was armed or not.”

The father and son got into their truck and drove down Satilla toward Burford Drive. Gregory McMichael stated when they arrived at Holmes Drive, they saw Arbery running down Burford, according to the report.

Gregory McMichael told police they attempted to cut off Arbery and shouted “stop, stop, we want to talk to you.”

McMichael pulled up next to Arbery, and Travis McMichael got out of the truck with the shotgun. According to statements, that’s when the father said Arbery attacked his son and the two men started fighting over the shotgun. Travis McMichael fired a shot and then a second shot.

After video appears to show black jogger gunned down by 2 white men in coastal Georgia, family demands arrests

The fatal shooting of a black man — apparently recorded on video in February and posted online Tuesday by a local radio station host — will go to a grand jury in coastal Georgia, according to a district attorney.

Elements of the disturbing video are consistent with a description of the shooting given to police by one of those involved in the incident.

Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was jogging in a neighborhood outside Brunswick on February 23 when a former police officer and his son chased him down, authorities said. According to a Glynn County Police report, Gregory McMichael later told officers that he thought Arbery looked like a person suspected in a series of recent break-ins in the area.

After they chased down Arbery, McMichael told police, Arbery and McMichael’s son Travis struggled over his son’s shotgun. McMichael said two shots were fired before Arbery fell to the street, the report said.


S. Lee Merritt, an attorney for the Arbery family, said in a statement that the two men involved in the chase “must be taken into custody pending their indictment.”

Gov. Brian Kemp said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has offered resources to Durden for his investigation. “Georgians deserve answers,” Kemp tweeted.

Kemp also retweeted the GBI’s post that Durden “formally requested the GBI to investigate the death of Ahmaud Arbery.”

Detective testifies that Gregory McMichael told him he did not see Ahmaud Arbery commit a crime

Detective testifies that Gregory McMichael told him he did not see Ahmaud Arbery commit a crime​

A Glynn County Police Department detective testified Tuesday in the trial over Ahmaud Arbery's killing that Gregory McMichael, one of the three White men charged, told him he never saw Arbery commit a crime.

Det. Parker Marcy was the prosecution's sixth witness in the trial.

"I don't think the guy has actually stolen anything out of there or if he did, it was early in this process," the detective quoted McMichael as saying during that interview. "But he keeps going back there over and over and over again to this damn house."

"I said stop," Gregory McMichael said, according to the transcript. "I'll blow your f**king head off, or something. I was trying to convey to this guy we were not playing, you know."



During Marcy's cross-examination, the judge asked the jury to step outside before he scolded a defense attorney, following the defense's line of questioning on the definition of "burglaries" that Gregory McMichael claimed were happening in the neighborhood.

"I don't know why I am so confused," Jason Sheffield, attorney for defendant Travis McMichael, muttered.

"I don't care whether you like my rulings or not or you like me or not," Judge Timothy Walmsley said. "But in this court, the Superior Court, it is axiomatic that counsel show at least respect for what the court is doing. And what you just did shows a lack of respect for what the court is trying to do here, which is create an environment which is fair to all parties."


Glynn County police Officer Jeff Brandeberry, who also interviewed Gregory McMichael, testified earlier Tuesday that McMichael never used the words "arrest," "detain" or "trespass" when he spoke with him at the scene of the shooting. Brandeberry testified Gregory McMichael appeared "animated" and "pretty amped up" when he arrived.

"Did he ever tell you while you were talking to him that he was attempting to make a citizen's arrest?" prosecutor Linda Dunikoski asked Brandeberry.

"No, ma'am," Brandeberry replied.

Brandeberry also testified about what Gregory McMichael said led to the shooting. McMichael said he saw a Black man run by his house, the officer testified.

And I'll bet they weren't but I also think they should have been tested for alcohol and drugs. I doubt it because of the "connections" and it just doesn't seem to be typical to do that anyhow as I think it should be in such situations. In the death of our family baby, he was not tested, it is a question I asked the detective of why not. You should have seen the KITCHEN picture that was also not allowed in trial.... The counter was LITTERED with bottles, beer cans, you name it from one end to the other...

Of course these days it seems like many think that's an excuse for not "intentional" ya know, they were drunk, high, etc...

Wow.

It is so clear or seems to be that these men only tried to backtrack later on, they had absolutely no concern what they said or their reasons I think because they were sooooo sure they would be covered, were connected, etc... It is a bit too difficult to believe even THEY could be this stupid.... AND apparently think all think like this... Detectives, officers, etc...

Welcome to our system sadly I would say to Arbery's mother. The best of the best is the American justice system right? I don't feel that way any longer. It is sure what we are taught though. I agree no one is stoned, put before a firing squad, one can have a jury trial, etc. but it is in serious need of some serious revamping but it isn't going to happen... Imo.

Is that the owner of the home under construction if I recall from earlier on, right? I have no time to follow this now but sure did early on here and there. I come here to read just to at least get highlights of the trial that everyone is posting and I'm thankful for. Three hours is a long deposition wow. I might have a chance to catch bits tomorrow but not sure yet. Hoping so.

Larry English is the owner of 220 Satilla Drive aka home under construction in this case. I'm drawn to this case, unsure why since it doesn't involve children, however, I'll keep posting updates in case you or others are unable to watch in its entirety.

I am too. I don't usually gravitate towards the type of case here, not because I don't care but they just become such a media theatrical mess, politics and groups come in and more and muddy or influence... Another I don't generally go too long into are the mass murders like schools, malls, etc. Again, not because I don't care but they just are not the ones I tend to gravitate to for similar reasons... Chauvin was another, like Arbery, not generally what I would follow, again not that I don't care... And I did follow that one through trial and conviction from start to end pretty much on that case...

This one though is just so bad, not that all are not.. It isn't only the victim, it is the defendants and what they did is like reminiscent of very bad things I think most would think or hope long gone and would not go on today and that some or most have evolved. Then add in some dirty people or at least buddies in the system maybe because GM was "one of their own' and that this still goes on is just so enraging... BUT it does... I think we would like to think it is better and maybe it is in some ways and some places but...

There is an old school, old guard, good old boys' club still in many places or at least some and just enough and there are ways they keep such in power... And of course it may be worse in some areas by far and on a different scale... Without judging or saying more, this is the south... Generational attitudes...? In SOME of course, not all...

Anyhow, me too, this case draws me and if I could, I would be watching every minute of this trial. I can't so I very much appreciate updates that fill me in and take just moments to read.

 

[Guess Who]

Some "investigator"

 

[kdg411]

So Al Sharpton & Ben Crump show up at the courthouse & state they represent Ahmaud's patents, really? How? The ADA is prosecuting the case in court, not these two winded gentleman.

Al Sharpton says Ahmaud Arbery's killing was a 'lynching in the 21st century'

The Rev. Al Sharpton is asking for a just verdict in the trial of the three men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery who was shot while jogging in Georgia last year.

*(brace yourself while listening to this defense attorney)

 

[kdg411]

Jurors have sent a note to the Judge about the rules the court has about their personal information being published in MSM.

Could this be due to Mr. Sharpton's presence in the courtroom?
