The Cobb District Attorney’s Office said this week it will be holding a prayer vigil Wednesday in observance of Ahmaud Arbery Day.
The prayer vigil will take place at the Marietta Square at 2 p.m. Wednesday, on the two-year anniversary of Arbery’s death.
He was a 25-year-old black man in Brunswick who was shot to death on Feb. 23, 2020, as he was jogging through a neighborhood.
The Cobb DA’s office prosecuted the murder trials of Travis McMichael, Greg McMichael and William R. Bryan, who were convicted by a Glynn County jury in November.
The three men also are defendants in an ongoing federal hate crimes trial in Savannah.
