In February 2020, Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed in broad daylight while out for a run in a South Georgian town in the US.
Now, over a year later, three men have been convicted of his murder, after shooting and chasing the 25-year-old through their neighbourhood.
Gregory McMichael, 65, his son Travis McMichael, 35, and their neighbour William "Roddie" Bryan, 52, have been sentenced to life in prison for the murder, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal intent to commit a felony.
Here's everything we know about the case.

What happened to Ahmaud Arbery.
In May 2020, months after the murder, a graphic video of the incident, filmed by an anonymous source, was posted on Twitter and then deleted, but not before it quickly went viral.
In the video, a Black unarmed man in exercise clothes can be seen running along a street in Brunswick, Georgia, at 1pm, before a white pickup truck blocks his path. One white man is standing next to the driver’s door while another is perched in the vehicle’s flatbed.
