Three suspects – all of them white – have been found guilty of the murder of a Black man – in a nationally watched trial.

According to The New York Times, the three defendants – Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael (son and father) and neighbor William Bryan all gave possible life sentences in the February 2020 fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, 25, in Brunswick, Georgia.

There are also federal charges of hate crimes and attempted kidnapping pending with a trial expected to start in February.

Arbery was jogging when the three defendants pursued him in pickup trucks, believing he had committed a burglary in their neighborhood. In the confrontation that followed, Arbery – who was unarmed – was fatally shot by Travis McMichael, who claimed he feared that Arbery might take his shotgun away from him and shoot him.
