Georgia jury convicts three men of murdering Ahmaud Arbery

A Georgia jury convicts Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William Bryan on November 24, 2021, for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Arbery was chased and killed while running near Brunswick, Georgia, in 2020. The convictions follow national outrage over the delayed arrests and the release of video showing the shooting. Federal prosecutors later win hate-crime convictions against the three men. The case marks a state accountability milestone in a case widely understood as racialized vigilante violence.
