Newly released CCTV footage from February 23 shows a man dressed in clothes matching those of Ahmaud Arbery on a private construction site approximately 240 yards from the scene of Arbery’s fatal shooting on that day.

The property belongs to Larry English, who said that CCTV had captured a trespasser on the property a number of times before February 23.

“After the first time that video captured someone in the house, Mr. English contacted local law enforcement on a non-emergency number and made them aware of the unauthorized entry onto his property,” said English’s attorney Elizabeth Graddy in a statement sent to Storyful. “He never used the word ‘burglary.’ He never shared any of this information with the McMichaels, whom he did not even know. Nothing was ever stolen from the house – which, again, was a construction site.”

The statement went on to say that “even if there had been a robbery,” the English family would not have wanted a “vigilante response.” The statement also says that English was not the person who contacted authorities on February 23.

The CCTV shows a man on English’s construction site on February 23. The clothes worn by the man – a white T-shirt and shorts – match with the clothes worn by Arbery in the video of the shooting, and the construction site is approximately 240 yards from the scene.

Merritt Law Firm, the firm representing Arbery’s family, said it had reviewed the video. “Our office has reviewed the surveillance video which appears to show a person, believed to be Ahmaud Arbery, entering a property under construction,” it said in a statement. “Ahmaud did not take anything from the construction site. He did not cause any damage to the property.”

The firm said the video “confirms that Mr. Arbery’s murder was not justified and the actions of the men who pursued him and ambushed him were unjustified.” Credit: Larry English/Elizabeth Graddy via Storyful
