In April 2018, 14-year-old Brennan Walker missed a school bus in Oakland County and decided to knock on Jeffrey Zeigler’s door to ask for directions, according to Fox 2 Detroit.

Zeigler’s wife answered the door and mistook Walker for a criminal.

Zeigler was convicted in November 2018 of one count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and sentenced to 2 to 10 years in prison.

On Thursday, Lisa Wright, Walker’s mother, was informed Zeigler wants his sentence overturned, Fox 2 reported.

Zeigler’s actions reminded Wright of Ahmaud Arbery, a young Black man who died after he tried to defend himself against two white men who were following him during a jog.
