Civil rights attorneys are advocating for harsher charges to be brought against two white men arrested on suspicion of chasing and shooting at a Black FedEx driver in Mississippi. Brandon Case and his father, Gregory Case, were arrested last Tuesday and released the same day on bond, The Associated Press reported. They face charges of shooting into a vehicle and conspiracy stemming from an incident on Jan. 24 in Brookhaven, which is about 56 miles south of Jackson.
"This is eerily similar to Ahmaud Arbery's killing," civil rights attorney Ben Crump tweeted on Monday. "They need to be charged w/ hate crimes & we need an investigation into their disturbing actions!”
