The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating the murder of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery near Brunswick, Georgia, in February, as a hate crime, his family’s attorneys said May 25.
Arbery was fatally shot on a residential street on Feb. 23 as he ran through the small Georgia neighborhood. Three men have been arrested in connection with Arbery’s death this month after video footage of the incident emerged on May 5.
