Moments after Travis McMichael allegedly murdered unarmed Georgia jogger Ahmaud Arbery, he reportedly said, “F—ing n—er,” according to shocking new court testimony in the racially charged killing.

McMichael, 34, his father, Gregory, 64, and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, 50, who are white, are in court on Arbery’s felony murder.

Glynn County Chief Magistrate Judge Wallace Harrell is hearing testimony to determine if there is sufficient evidences for the cases to move forward.

In morning testimony, GBI Special Agent Richard Dial relayed what he was told by Bryan, who witnessed the shooting and filmed the now-viral video that brought a national spotlight to the case.

As Arbery lay on the ground with three shotgun wounds, the younger McMichael said “f—ing n—er,” Dial said, quoting Bryan, according to CNN. 

Bryan also revealed for the first time what words were exchanged at the scene moments before the shooting. The elder McMichael, who witnessed the shooting from the bed of his pickup truck, told his son, “Don’t shoot. Don’t shoot.”

The court hearing is continuing.
