Former Vice President Joe Biden and former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called for action and a formal investigation in the aftermath of the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man shot while jogging by white men who suspected him of being a burglar.
Arbery was killed on Feb. 23 in a neighborhood outside the city of Brunswick, Georgia, but no one has been arrested or charged in his death. A Georgia prosecutor called for a grand jury to review the case on Tuesday and to decide if criminal charges are warranted.
A video reportedly of Arbery’s shooting has ricocheted around social media, prompting an outcry. The video shows a black man jogging before attempting to pass a truck with two men. A gunshot is heard in the video, and then a scuffle ensues between the jogger and one of the men.
