Seen the footage on Youtube.
No way was he running away after a theft. Looked like he was jogging toward their vehicle, and one of them probably jumped out right in front of him brandishing a weapon, and there was a struggle.
I'm still wondering how it was that this footage was taken. You can see the recording starts pretty far back from them, so were they tailing them from the start just in case?

Ahmaud Arbery, a black man, was jogging in his neighborhood in Georgia on February 23 when he was killed in a shooting after being chased by Gregory and Travis McMichael, a father and son.
A police report said the McMichaels mistook Arbery, who was unarmed, for a suspect in a string of neighborhood break-ins.
A video of the chase and shooting was shared on social media and caused outrage.
In the two months since Arbery died, two district attorneys have recused themselves from the case over potential conflicts of interest.
Gregory and Travis McMichael were ultimately arrested in May in connection with Arbery's death. They were charged with felony murder and aggravated assault.
The hashtag #IRunWithMaud trended on social media, and thousands of people signed up to run 2.23 miles — marking the day of Arbery's death — on May 8.

May 8 would have been Ahmaud Arbery's 26th birthday.Arbery, a black man, was out running in his neighborhood outside Brunswick, Georgia, at about 1 p.m. on February 23.
He was followed and gunned down by a 64-year-old former police officer, Gregory McMichael, and his 34-year-old son, Travis McMichael, both of whom are white.
The shooting was captured on video by a witness in a nearby car, Reuters reported. The shocking footage has been shared widely on social media and has prompted a wave of protests and demands for justice.
On Thursday, May 7, agents from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested Gregory and Travis McMichael and announced that the two were charged with felony murder and aggravated assault.
At a news conference a day later, the bureau's director, Vic Reynolds, said there was "sufficient probable cause to charge the McMichaels with felony murder and aggravated assault."
"I can tell you that if we didn't believe it, we wouldn't have arrested them," he said. "If we believe it, then we're going to put the bracelets on them, and that's exactly what we did yesterday evening."
Here's everything we know about the case.
A local police report describes how the McMichaels chased Arbery and shots were fired after a struggle
A Glynn County police report describes how Arbery was shot after struggling with Travis McMichael over his shotgun.Travis McMichael's father told the responding officer, J. Brandeberry, that Arbery caught their attention because he resembled a man accused of a rash of residential break-ins. He said they decided to grab their guns and chase him.
However, The Brunswick News reported that only one burglary was reported in the area from the start of 2020 to the day Arbery died. The sole item stolen was a gun from Travis McMichael's unlocked pickup truck.
"McMichael stated he was in his front yard and saw the suspect from the break-ins 'hauling ass' down Satilla Drive toward Burford Drive," Brandeberry's report said.
"McMichael stated he then ran inside his house and called to Travis (McMichael) and said, 'Travis, the guy is running down the street let's go,'"
So...
Wasn't just one.
