A white father and son, Gregory and Travis McMichael, were arrested Thursday in association with the fatal shooting of Arbery. 

Arbery was killed Feb. 23 just outside the port city of Brunswick, Ga. 

The arrests were made after an attorney representing Arbery’s family, Lee Merritt, released a video last week that appears to show the McMichaels pursuing and shooting Arbery.
