A father and son were arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault on May 7 in the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery as he jogged through his neighborhood near Brunswick, Georgia, in February.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation took Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son, Travis McMichael, 34, into custody where they were booked into the Glynn County Jail, the agency said in a statement Thursday.
