During a press conference on Friday morning, Vic Reynolds, chief of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, said that the new team investigating the death of Ahmaud Arbery, the 25-year old Georgia man who was killed in February, obtained arrest warrants for two individuals on Thursday evening after reviewing the case for just 36 hours. 

“I can tell you that based on our involvement in this case, considering the fact that we hit the ground running on Wednesday morning, and within 36 hours we had secured warrants for two individuals for felony murder, I think that speaks volumes for itself in that the probable cause was clear for our agents pretty quickly,” he said.
