Investigate Not Just Ahmad’s Death, But the System That Let His Killers Escape

The 64-year-old former police investigator and his 34-year-old son who are charged in his death told police he thought Mr. Arbery looked like a man suspected in several break-ins in the area.

That same day, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the case from local police.

It seems clear that without the national attention focused on the case, there would have been no justice for Ahmaud.

Furthermore, the Glynn County Police Department, which led the investigation before the Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the case, has a history of corruption and scandals.

The National Urban League stands in solidarity with the other civil rights and social justice advocates and activists who have called on U.S. Attorney William Barr to investigate these killings and the work of the police and prosecutors involved.
