Georgia Attorney General Requests Federal Investigation Of Ahmaud Arbery Case

Days after the arrest of Gregory and Travis McMichael in the Ahmaud Arbery case, Georgia’s attorney general Chris Carr has called for a federal investigation of the tragic incident to achieve maximum transparency.

“We are committed to a complete and transparent review of how the Ahmaud Arbery case was handled from the outset,” Chris Carr said in a press release, as reported by CNN. “The family, the community and the state of Georgia deserve answers, and we will work with others in law enforcement at the state and federal level to find those answers.”

On February 23, Ahmaud Arbery was jogging through a neighborhood in Satilla Shores, Georgia, where residents reportedly saw him enter a house that was currently under construction. Recently released surveillance cam footage shows Arbery entering the house and observing the area for a few minutes before leaving with nothing in his possession. During this time, a 911 call was made alerting the police to Arbery’s presence.
