Global outrage has ensued after an unarmed black man was shot by two white men in a Georgia, USA community after the man, Ahmaud Arbery, was mistaken for a burglar, OYOGist.com reports.
Global players, celebrities, politicians and famous athletes have all joined in a single voice against racial violence to call for the arrest of Ahmaud Arbery and fight for his justice.
The viral video showed the 25-year-old African American jogging while two white males, Gregory McMichael, a former police detective and his son, Travis going after him in a truck.
The father, Gregory McMichael, shot at at Ahmaud Arbery while a scuffle ensued between the men as Ahmaud tried to protect himself. Another shot was fired, and Ahmaud was killed.
The law in Georgia permits citizens to possess arms and make arrests but the video showing how Ahmaud Arbery was killed in February resurfacing online has drawn calls for the arrest of Gregory and Travis.
