Charges against all 3 defendants: 9 Counts. Malice Murder, Felony Murder x4, Aggravated Assault x2, False Imprisonment, Criminal attempt to commit a felony
- Grand jury indicted all 3 on June 24, 2020.

Definition of Malice Murder: Malice murder is a criminal offense in the U.S. state of Georgia, committed when a homicide is done with express or implied malice.

Gregory McMichael, 64, son Travis McMichael, 34, and neighbor William Bryan, 50, are accused of chasing down the victim in a tragic confrontation on Feb. 23 in Brunswick, Georgia.

The question before the court is: Is this murder? Prosecutors and attorneys for Arbery’s family say yes. The McMichaels chased the victim in a Ford F-150, while Bryan drove a Chevy Silverado pickup truck, authorities said. Bryan filmed while father and son confronted the 25-year-old Arbery, and Travis shot the victim with a 12-gauge shotgun, according to the indictment obtained by Law&Crime.

At the time of the killing, Gregory McMichael allegedly told police that they believed Arbery was involved in several burglaries in the area. But there was only one reported burglary in the area in recent weeks: a January 1 alleged theft in which a gun was stolen from a pickup truck outside Travis McMichael’s home.

911 audio from shortly before the shooting showed a caller reporting a black man in a white T-shirt at a nearby house under construction.
