An investigator testifies that one of the white men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery was heard uttering a racist slur over the young black man's body. Evidence also alleges that Arbery was repeatedly boxed in by two pickup trucks as he tried to escape.

Georgia's attorney general on Sunday asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the handling of the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, a black man who authorities say died at the hands of the two men as he ran through a neighborhood.
Agent Richard Dial said the driver of the second pickup truck, William “Roddie” Bryan, said he heard the gunman say a racist epithet as he stood over Arbery’s body before police arrived.Special prosecutor Jesse Evans said Arbery “was chased, hunted down and ultimately executed.” Lawyers for the defendants and the state acknowledged in court the extraordinary context for the hearing, following a week of angry protests in the U.S. over law enforcement biases against black victims. Most wore masks when they approached the bench or when they weren’t speaking, conscious of the need to prevent spreading the coronavirus while most courts are closed due to the pandemic.
It wasn’t until May 7 that those men — Greg McMichael, 64, and Travis McMichael, 34 — were charged with felony murder and aggravated assault. The McMichaels’ arrests came two days after cellphone video of the shooting leaked online and stirred a national outcry.Bryan, 50, filmed the video. He also was arrested and charged with felony murder and illegally using a vehicle to try to confine and detain Arbery.
Defense attorneys requested the hearing to make prosecutors show whether they have probable cause to charge the men with murder.
