- 25-year-old was shot and killed by two white men in February
- Case has sparked debate about racial injustice in the United States
Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker has spoken of his grief and anger over the death of his second cousin Ahmaud Arbery, who was shot and killed by two white men in February.
Father and son Gregory and Travis McMichael have been arrested and charged over the death of 25-year-old Arbery who was jogging through a quiet suburban street in Georgia when he was killed. The arrests were made after footage of Arbery’s death circulated on social media, and the killing has raised questions over racial injustice in the United States. The police did not initially conduct a thorough investigation into the death of Arbery, who was African American.

Today should’ve been Ahmaud Arbery’s 26th birthday. Instead, our nation is mourning. Because of the local conflict of interest, @playercoalition, other athletes, and I are urging Attorney General Barr, to have the FBI and the DOJ investigate this tragic death. We need action. pic.twitter.com/2qG8lih6A4
