" "Ahmaud Arbery was murdered for being Black," Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said in a Thursday morning tweet. "His White assailants were allowed to roam free *for months* after lynching him. They faced no charges, no arrests. Police had video of Ahmaud’s murder the day it happened. His family deserves justice. Our country deserves answers."
Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was killed on Feb. 23 when 64-year-old Gregory McMichael spotted Arbery jogging and called 911 to report a "black man running down the street" and said he suspected the man was involved in recent burglaries. McMichael called his son, Travis. The pair armed themselves, and then tracked Arbery down on the road.
The police report says Gregory McMichael told officers he and his son first tried to stop Arbery by shouting, “Stop, stop, we want to talk to you!” The father claimed that Arbery attacked his son and they got into a struggle for a shotgun. Police said the son fired two shots.
Arbery's family maintains he was simply out for a jog at the time."

Ahmaud's story needs go be heard. He was an innocent man who was lynched, and died because of the color of his skin. Something he could not control. This is so horrible, and his story is only skimming the surface of what black people and people of color have had to face for hundreds of years. Spread his story, so that maybe one day these stories will never be made. #JusticeForAhmaudArbury #BlackLivesMatter #SpreadTheStory
