The father and son reportedly got firearms and began their chase after they suspected that Arbery was the culprit of recent thefts in the area. According to investigators, Bryan later joined them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/02\/23\/970598539\/mother-of-ahmaud-arbery-files-civil-lawsuit-on-anniversary-of-sons-death\">NPR<\/a> reports,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The older McMichael was armed with a .357-caliber Magnum, and his son had a shotgun.
