The first police officer who responded to the scene of the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery testified on Monday that William 'Roddie' Bryan Jr., the man who recorded video of Arbery being chased, never told him a citizen's arrest of Arbery was being made.
Bryan also questioned if he should have been chasing Arbery in his truck.
Minshew said he spoke with Bryan shortly after the shooting and testified about what Bryan told him that day. Reading from the transcript from his bodycam video, Minshew said he asked Bryan, "So, you're a passerby coming through?" Bryan responded, "Not necessarily." Ollivierre asked Minshew if he found any firearms upon his arrival at the scene. He said that he saw one pistol and a shotgun with a "significant amount of blood on it."Video of the killing surfaced more than two months after it happened, sparking widespread outrage and demonstrations just weeks before the policein Minneapolis set off a summer of nationwide protests against racial injustice. The three defendants are White and Arbery was Black.
Because the shotgun had blood on it, and was marked a biohazard, fingerprints were not recovered on the scene, she said. Glynn County Police Officer William Duggan testified he responded to the scene of the shooting to find a Black man lying on the pavement and "a couple of other people walking around."
