A third man was arrested Thursday in connection with the February shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced.

The suspect, William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., had been identified by a previous district attorney, who recused himself from the case, as the man who filmed the 36-second video of Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, being shot and killed.

Arbery was allegedly followed by Gregory McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael, while he was out for a jog in Brunswick, Georgia, on February 23. Video shows him being shot during a struggle.

The 50-year-old Bryan faces charges of felony murder and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment, the GBI said in a statement. The McMichaels were arrested on May 7, more than two months after Arbery was killed.

Like them, Bryan was booked into the Glynn County Jail, according to the GBI.

District Attorney Joyette Holmes of the Cobb County District Attorney's Office is responsible for the investigation into Arbery's death. She is the fourth prosecutor to take over the case, which has sparked calls for justice and prompted investigations into local authorities.
