Three white men who chased and killed Ahmaud Arbery on a residential street acted out of “pent-up racial anger” and should be convicted of hate crimes, a federal prosecutor told a jury on Monday.
Travis McMichael, the man who pulled the trigger and fatally shot Arbery, “was just looking for a reason” to hurt a Black person when he saw the 25-year-old jogging on his street, the prosecutor argued, citing a slew of racist comments and videos McMichael had posted online.
