In the moments after Arbery left the property, he was chased by three white male residents of the neighborhood. Travis McMichael, 35, and his father Gregory McMichael, 66, armed themselves with guns and pursued Arbery in a pickup truck after he ran past their yard, which was several houses down from the unfinished property. Bryan, 52, followed Arbery in another car. Arbery then had a confrontation with Travis McMichael, who shot Arbery as he ran in front of the pickup truck.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>All three men were charged with murder and convicted on November 24.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Both McMichaels were found guilty of&nbsp;felony murder, aggravated assault with a firearm and with a pickup truck, false imprisonment, and criminal attempt to commit a felony. Travis McMichael was also found guilty of malice murder, but his father was found not guilty on that charge.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Bryan was found guilty of felony murder, aggravated assault with a pickup truck, false imprisonment, and criminal attempt to commit a felony. The jury found Bryan also not guilty of malice murder.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Walmsley said ahead of sentencing that he found \u201cabsolutely chilling\u201d the point in the video where Travis McMichael lifted his shotgun up to kill Arbery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve read somewhere, and I don\u2019t remember where it was, that at a minimum, Ahmaud Arbery\u2019s death should force us to consider expanding our definition of what a neighbor may be and how we treat them,\u201d Walmsley said. \u201cI argue that maybe a neighbor is more than the people who just own property around your house. I believe that assuming the worst in others we show our worst character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three men convicted of killing Arbery argued during trial that they chased Arbery to make a citizen\u2019s arrest following several break-ins in the neighborhood and that Arbery was shot in self-defense, even though they had been chasing Arbery.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
