By Jamie Stockwell, The New York Times, May 2, 2020  - With much of the nation on lockdown because of the coronavirus, the friends and family of Ahmaud Arbery worried that his death would go unnoticed.
Mr. Arbery, 25, was running in a suburban neighborhood near Brunswick, Ga., when a man standing in his front yard, Gregory McMichael, 64, saw him go by.
Mr. McMichael, who is white, later told the authorities that he thought Mr. Arbery, who is black, looked like a man suspected of several break-ins in the area. And so he called out to his son, Travis McMichael, 34. The two men grabbed their weapons — a .357 magnum revolver and a shotgun — jumped in a truck and began chasing Mr. Arbery.
