ABC's Derrike Dennis has the latest.
A prosecutor in the murder trial over Ahmaud Arbery's death is arguing that none of the three men charged in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery had cause to make a citizen's arrest when they saw him in their neighborhood. Linda Dunikoski told jurors in her closing arguments today that the three defendants decided to pursue Arbery "because he was a Black man running down their street." Arbery was chased and fatally shot Feb. 23, 2020, after he was spotted running in a neighborhood outside Brunswick in coastal Georgia. Father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan say they suspected Arbery was a burglar. Derricke spent the weekend interviewing homeowners in the neighborhood where the shooting happened. Those who would speak to him said the McMichaels were known to be acting as if they were law enforcement in the area before the shooting took place. Derricke will have the latest from Brunswick.
