Mother Of Ahmaud Arbery Files Civil Lawsuit On Anniversary Of Son's Killing

The mother of Ahmaud Arbery, the 25-year-old Black man who was chased and gunned down by a group of white men in Glynn County, Ga., while jogging, has filed a multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit against several people involved in the killing or the subsequent investigation.

The lawsuit filed by Wanda Cooper on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia comes exactly one year after her son's killing.

The suit names Gregory and Travis McMichael, father and son, as well as William "Roddie" Bryan, all of whom are white and facing felony murder charges in connection with Arbery's death.

The suit also names law enforcement officials and local prosecutors who it claims were intimately involved with an alleged cover-up and "willfully and maliciously conspired to follow, threaten, detain and kill Ahmaud Arbery."
