Greg McMichael, who provided gun cover for his son as he fought and eventually shot a young black jogger, may have known the victim long before their encounter in a subdivision just south of Brunswick, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has learned.
McMichael, a former Glynn County cop, told Glynn police he recognized Arbery, 25, from surveillance video that captured a recent burglary in his mostly white neighborhood. He said he planned to make a citizens arrest.

Arberys parents have demanded the McMichaels be arrested. Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney Tom Durden said Tuesday he would ask a grand jury to consider criminal charges.
Gov. Brian Kemp told reporters Thursday the video was absolutely horrific and that Georgians deserve answers.
I told Director Reynolds to follow the facts, follow the truth and to administer justice, Kemp said, referring to GBI Director Vic Reynolds. I have no doubt in my mind, it will be fair and Director Reynolds and his seasoned team of investigators will work very quickly and will also be very thorough.
Late Thursday afternoon GBI agents were canvassing Satilla Shores, the subdivision where Arbery was killed.
