Attorney General Chris Carr on Sunday requested the DOJ to conduct the investigation surrounding the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery.
Both men were"charged with murder and aggravated assault. The McMichaels were then taken into custody and will be booked into the Glynn County Jail," the GBI said.
Anger among Americans was exacerbated by the fact that neither of the men in the video had been arrested after Arbery's death more than two months ago. "There had been very little information provided by the police department or the district attorney's office, but there was entirely too much speculation, rumor, false narratives, and outright lies surrounding this event," Tucker told Georgia Public Radio.
