The US Justice Department has launched an investigation into the shooting death of unarmed black jogger Ahmaud Arbery by two white men in Georgia, a lawyer for the victim’s family said Monday.
Attorney S. Lee Merritt said he was assured by government officials that the FBI and federal prosecutors would seek both civil and criminal charges in Arbery’s Feb.23 shooting by ex-cop Gregory McMichael,64, and his 34-year-old son, Travis McMichael.
“This case makes it clear that all black citizens in South Georgia aren’t getting the same protection under the law,” Merritt said on TMZ Live.
