The Justice Department (DOJ) says it’s reviewing the evidence in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery to determine if federal hate crime charges are warranted in the Georgia case.
“The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia have been supporting and will continue fully to support and participate in the state investigation,” Kerri Kupec, the department’s spokesperson, said in a statement.
