×U.S. EditionPart of HuffPost Black Voices. ©2022 BuzzFeed, Inc. All rights reserved.×two 911 calls confirm previously reported transcripts and provide details about the shooting death of 25-year-old , a while jogging through a neighborhood in south Georgia.Gruesome cell phone footage surfaced last week that showed Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son, Travis McMichael, 34, shooting Arbery after pursuing and confronting the man in the street. The pair was armed with a .357 magnum and a shotgun, and have not yet been charged in relation to Arbery’s killing.AdvertisementThe newly released audio confirms , of dispatchers responding to callers reporting a man ― widely believed to have been Arbery ― running in the Satilla Shores neighborhood of Brunswick, Georgia.In one clip from a call at 1:08 p.m., a man reports a “Black guy” he claimed he saw in a house under construction. When the dispatcher asks if the man broke into the home, the caller says no, and when the caller repeatedly says the man is running, the dispatcher makes multiple attempts to find out the reason for the call.“I just need to know what he was doing wrong,” the dispatcher says at one point. Toward the end of the call, they agree to send someone to check on things as the phone reception begins to break up.In another clip from a call minutes later, at 1:14, a man reports a “Black male running down the street” and is heard yelling for him to stop. As the dispatcher tries to refocus the caller’s attention, the caller yells, “Travis,” an apparent reference to Travis McMichael. The dispatcher continues to record the call for minutes after it appears the caller has disconnected unannounced.AdvertisementMuch of the public outcry following the release of the video showing Arbery’s death has been centered around why the men seen shooting Arbery have not been charged.Documents show Gregory McMichael was once a detective and county prosecutor in Georgia. Two prosecutors previously assigned to Arbery’s case have since resigned due to conflicts of interest. A third prosecutor, Tom Durden, said he believes the case should be presented before a grand jury in Glynn County, Georgia. AdvertisementCORRECTION: This article previously suggested that the McMichaels shot Arbery with the shotgun and the pistol. To date, reports indicate only that they shot him with the shotgun.Suggest a correctionNewsletter Sign UpAmplifying Black voices through news that matters.Successfully Subscribed!Stories that matter delivered to your inbox
