LeBron James spoke out about the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery on Twitter Wednesday night after a video leaked that reportedly shows a man and his adult son chase down Arbery in a truck and fatally shoot him.
Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was killed on Feb. 23 in Brunswick, Georgia but his case was shelved until a video was leaked on the Internet Tuesday alleging to show two white men, Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis McMichael, 34, get in a pickup truck, track him down and shoot him while he was jogging on a residential street.
No arrests were made more than two months after the fatal shooting because the district attorney believed the two men acted in self-defense.
The release of the video on Tuesday created enough of an outcry from the community that the case will now be sent to a grand jury.
