Lebron James posted on social media Wednesday about Ahmaud Arbery, a black man shot and killed by two white men in Georgia in February while he was jogging.

 

The men told police they thought Arbery was a burglar, and neither was arrested or charged. After a graphic cellphone video of the killing was posted online this week to outrage, Georgia opened an investigation.

James tweeted a photo of Arbery and wrote: “We’re literally hunted everyday/everytime we step foot outside the comfort of our homes! Can’t even go for a damn jog man! Like WTF man are you kidding me?!?!?!?!”
