Ahmaud Arbery's Mother Files Lawsuit Against Her Son's Killers on Anniversary of His Death
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Georgia, the mother of Ahmaud Arbery, the 25-year-old Black man who
was chased down and shot to death while out for a jog, has filed a
multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit against the white men who killed her
son. The lawsuit also accuses law enforcement officials and local
prosecutors of attempting to cover up evidence during the investigation.
The suit was filed on the first anniversary of Ahmaud Arbery's killing,
as people around the country marked his memory by going on a run and
using the hashtag #Run With Maud.
