Latest on the killing of Ahmaud Arbery: Supporters organize 2.23-mile run, attorneys call for arrest

Attorneys for the family of Ahmaud Arbery believe he was the victim of racial profiling after he was chased down and shot by two white men while jogging in a southern Georgia neighborhood.
Arbery, 25, was shot and killed Feb. 23. The incident was captured on video and has been widely shared on social media.
There have been no arrests, though a prosecutor recommended this week that a grand jury consider criminal charges.
Now, attorneys for his family want an immediate arrest. And among those calling for justice are civil rights groups and prominent politicians and celebrities, like Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and NBA star LeBron James. Supporters are also organizing a 2.23-mile run in Arbery's honor on Friday.
"Ahmaud Arbery's life matters, and the fact that you have proof of the crime, you have a video ... black people get arrested everyday with far less evidence," Ben Crump, an attorney who is representing the Arbery family, told USA TODAY.

Here's what we know about the shooting:

How was Ahmaud Arbery killed?

Arbery's family says he was jogging in the Satilla Shores neighborhood just outside Brunswick, Georgia, on Feb. 23.
He was shot after two men saw him running in their neighborhood and armed themselves with guns before getting in a truck to pursue him, according to an incident report filed by Glynn County police. They later told police they believed he was a burglary suspect.
Arbery was black; the two men who are accused of shooting him are white.

What does the video show?

Video of the incident has been widely shared on social media, including by the family's attorney, S. Lee Merritt. In a statement, Merritt, said a "false narrative" had been created that the video disproved. 
"Mr. Arbery had not committed any crime and there was no reason for these men to believe they had the right to stop him with weapons or to use deadly force in furtherance of their unlawful attempted stop. This is murder," Merritt said.
The video, which appears to be shot from a moving vehicle behind the runner, shows a black man jogging on the left side of the two-lane road in broad daylight. A white truck is parked in the road ahead of him; a man stands in the pickup bed and another is standing beside the open driver's side door.
The runner crosses the road to pass the pickup on the passenger side, then crosses back in front of the truck. Shouting can be heard, a gunshot sounds, and the video shows the runner grappling with a man in the street over what appears to be a shotgun or rifle. A second shot can be heard and the runner can be seen punching the man. A third shot is fired at point-blank range. The runner staggers a few feet and falls face down.

Who are Greg and Travis McMichael?

Gregory McMichael said he was in his front yard when he spotted Arbery. He told police that he and his adult son, Travis, thought the man matched someone caught on a security camera committing a recent break-in in the neighborhood, according to the police report.
He and his son grabbed their guns from inside the house because they "didn't know if the male was armed or not." The father and son then got in their truck and began chasing Arbery.
McMichael said Travis got out of the truck with a shotgun and that Arbery "began to violently attack" him and "the two men then started fighting over the shotgun," the police report said. McMichael said his son fired two shots, according to the report.
The police report says Gregory McMichael turned Arbery onto his back to see if he was armed – but the report doesn’t say whether he had a weapon or not.
Gregory McMichael had recently retired as an investigator in the Brunswick district attorney's office, the Associated Press reported. He had also worked as an officer in the Glynn County Police Department.
A phone number listed for Gregory McMichael was disconnected on Wednesday. USA TODAY could not find a phone number for Travis McMichael.

What's being done? 

Tom Durden, an outside prosecutor, has asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigations to look into the case, according to the agency.  Agency Director Vic Reynolds said Wednesday his team would operate the investigation out of its headquarters and "bring to bear every resource and experience this agency has in resolving this matter."
Durden said Tuesday he plans to have a grand jury hear the evidence in the shooting. A grand jury hearing, however, won't happen at least until mid-June when Georgia courts reopen from coronavirus restrictions.
"I am of the opinion that the case should be presented to the grand jury of Glynn County for consideration of criminal charges against those involved in the death of Mr. Arbery," Durden said in a statement Tuesday.

'Justice for Ahmaud'

Meanwhile, civil rights groups including the ACLU, NAACP and Southern Poverty Law Center have called for justice, likening the incident to the controversial killing of Trayvon Martin in which the killer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted. 
"We call on the officials in Brunswick to enforce the rule of law so that it can be safe for citizens to walk the streets,” Andrea Young, executive director of the ACLU of Georgia, said in a statement. “Ahmaud was killed three days before the anniversary of the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin. Both incidents are a reminder that white supremacy has been a foundation for our country and leads repeatedly to the targeting and harming people of color, particularly African Americans.”
Georgia NAACP President James Woodall called the shooting "white supremacy full on." He said he is planning a protest Friday at the Glynn County courthouse.
Advocates have launched a petition demanding that the Department of Justice and FBI investigate the case and file charges.

#IRunwithAhumaud: Supporters running 2.23 miles to raise awareness 

A dedication run is being organized for Arbery, who supporters say would have turned 26 years old on Friday. They're organizing a 2.23-mile run for people to complete on their own and share videos and messages on social media. The 2.23 miles signifies Feb. 23, the day he was killed.
Meanwhile, officials, activists and celebrities are speaking out.
NBA star LeBron James expressed outrage over the killing, saying on Twitter that "we're literally hunted every day/ every time we step foot outside the comfort of our homes."
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden called for a "swift, full and transparent investigation into his murder." 
Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., a former Democratic presidential candidate, said on Twitter the video "sickens me to my core."
"Exercising while Black shouldn't be a death sentence," she said.
