The former high school football player with the lightning speed often jogged for miles near the southeastern Georgia enclave where he grew up.
Ahmaud Arbery's runs set him free from the blue-collar coastal city of Brunswick, where 56% of its 16,000 residents are black and more than a third of the population lives in poverty.
In high school, Arbery was so fast coaches had him slow down during practices. Now 25, his athletic gait delivered him beyond the arbitrary borders of his community. Wanda Cooper, Arbery's mother, may have occasionally worried about him but never about his running.
On February 23, the young black jogger was passing through the predominantly white Satilla Shores section on the other side of four-lane US Route 17. Just miles from where Arbery lived with his mother, the quiet waterfront neighborhood is speckled with ranch houses tucked between oak-shaded lawns and backyard boat slips.
His final run ended there.
Arbery stopped in front of a still-unfinished home. He went inside briefly before resuming his run. A former police officer and his son -- both residents on the street -- had become preoccupied with young men caught on security cameras trespassing on the site. Some of the video was posted on the neighborhood's Facebook page.
Armed with a shotgun and a handgun, father and son later followed Arbery in their truck. One of them shot him to death during a confrontation. Arbery's family called it a modern-day lynching.

Was this guy jogging in work boots?
From what I understand he was about 15 miles from home.
Jogging without evidence. He was on camera walking before he went into the house.
Weird it doesn’t seem like the country is “anxiously gripped” by this. In fact I don’t think I know anyone who is even paying attention to it.
>>Arbery stopped in front of a still-unfinished home. He went inside briefly before resuming his run.
Repeat visitor, day and night
He had some sort of what I call tennis shoes on w/o socks.
“From what I understand he was about 15 miles from home.”
How did you arrive at that understanding?
Wow....the nation is clutching their pearls every night.....
How do we sleep at night knowing two idoits killed a man for a stupid reason.
They tried to say the same thing about the Juicy Smollett case only that one fell apart in a matter of days.
I was at a bar with a group (friends of friends) who were days behind in the details and thinking I was making things up.
Never fear. Meatspace the troll here.
Hardly grips anyone.
Media hype.
The country apparently wasn’t gripped about a double homicide at a veterans’ cemetery in Maryland where a black man killed two white people in retaliation for this months old case. That must’ve just been a local newsmatter.
There are so many things left out and slanted in that article that it’s disgusting. CNN strikes again.
Well, I rest e.z. by sending in weakly $10 to the N (not the n-word N) AA P.C..
They keepsending the envloop back but if they happy, I happy!
Work boots, heavy pants and he ran 20 yards toward a young man holding a rifle and tried to take it from him. He was shot armed, fighting over a gun that was not pointed at him until he grabbed the barrel and aimed the gun at himself.
Because the video exonerates the accused the videographer is now charged with homocide. It is all BS aimed at placating screamers.
From what I understand he was about 15 miles from home.
He lived about 2 miles from where he was shot dead
He lived with his mom, who lived in this house, the mother put it up for sale recently

And according to video he was wearing a white shoe, not work boots. Sorry try again.
How did you arrive at that conclusion?
We did not kill this black man; two or more white men allegedly did and should and will be prosecuted legally in court. That does not mean all white people are evil.
This case can be used for political gain by Dems, which is wrong.
We did not do anything but wait for the law to take its course despite years of proven Knockout Game crimes (most followed by “no arrests.”) Malls and shopping areas of cities menaced by “teens”. And many hundreds of cases such as the carjacking, kidnapping and torture deaths of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom on January 6, 2007. Or Reginald Denny the innocent trucker beaten by haters in the LA riots April 29, 1992.
We can stay out of this mess no matter how much the Dems push it too far with the complicity of their propaganda media.
We are not guilty of this killing.
