Two suspects were arrested Thursday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in the shooting death of black Georgia jogger Ahmaud Arbery.
Arrests have been made in the case of an unarmed black man who was fatally shot while jogging through a Glynn County neighborhood in Georgia earlier this year.
According to a statement from the GBI, the men"were both charged with murder and aggravated assault. The McMichaels were then taken into custody and will be booked into the Glynn County Jail." District Attorney Tom Durden formally requested the Georgia Bureau of Investigations launch a grand jury investigation into the incident Tuesday. In a press release, Durden said two other district attorneys recused themselves from the investigation before Durden became involved on April 13"because of either prior employment and/or familial relationships" with individuals involved in the investigation.
