Audio recordings of two 911 calls released by The Guardian on Thursday confirm previously reported transcripts and provide details about the shooting death of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man killed by two white men while jogging through a neighborhood in south Georgia. The newly released audio confirms local reports, including transcripts, of dispatchers responding to callers reporting a man ― widely believed to have been Arbery ― running in the Satilla Shores neighborhood of Brunswick, Georgia. In one clip from a call at 1:08 p.m., a man reports a “Black guy” he claimed he saw in a house under construction. In another clip from a call minutes later, at 1:14, a man reports a “Black male running down the street” and is heard yelling for him to stop. As the dispatcher tries to refocus the caller’s attention, the caller yells, “Travis,” an apparent reference to Travis McMichael.
