Georgia’s attorney general asked the Justice Department to probe the handling of the killing of black jogger Ahmaud Arbery amid widespread outrage over local prosecutors failing to make arrests until a video of the incident surfaced and brought new scrutiny of the case.

Arbery, 25, was shot and killed on Feb. 23 by two white men, authorities say, but no arrests were made until last week.

“We are committed to a complete and transparent review of how the Ahmaud Arbery case was handled from the outset,” Attorney General Chris Carr said in a statement issued Sunday. “The family, the community and the state of Georgia deserve answers, and we will work with others in law enforcement at the state and federal level to find those answers.”

Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son, Travis McMichael, 34, were arrested on charges of murder and aggravated assault.

The arrests came after the video of Arbery’s killing was revealed on May 5 and hours after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation began looking into the case.

After Arbery’s killing, Brunswick District Attorney George Barnhill told cops that the McMichaels shouldn’t be charged because he considered it “justifiable homicide” and then recused himself from the case because the father, a former local police officer, had been a longtime investigator in the office.

Another prosecutor, Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jackie Johnson, also recused herself because George McMichael used to work in her office.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation got involved at the request of Glynn County police and Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney Tom Durden, who is now prosecuting the case.
