William Bryan says he has lost his job and received death threats after the video of Ahmaud Arbery’s shooting was made public.

The man who filmed the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery has been arrested on felony murder charges, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
William “Roddie” Bryan Jr., 50, was arrested Thursday and will be booked into the Glynn County Jail, the bureau announced. GBI Director Vic Reynolds said earlier in the month the department was investigating Bryan, while Kevin Gough, the man’s attorney, had previously called on the GBI to clear his client’s name.
Bryan was also charged with criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment, the GBI announced in a statement. USA TODAY has reached out to Gough for comment.

In a statement, attorneys for Arbery’s parents said they called for Bryan’s arrest “from the very beginning of this process.”
“His involvement in the murder of Mr. Arbery was obvious to us, to many around the country and after their thorough investigation, it was clear to the GBI as well,” attorneys S. Lee Merritt, Benjamin Crump and L. Chris Stewart said in a statement.
Bryan’s arrest is the latest in connection to the February shooting of Arbery, a 25-year-old black man.
Gregory and Travis McMichael were arrested following a storm of public outcry after Bryan’s video of Arbery’s death was made public. The white father and son were both charged with murder and aggravated assault and a search warrant was executed at their home on Tuesday, according to the GBI.
Arbery was shot and killed about two miles from his home in a neighborhood outside Brunswick, Georgia.

A memo obtained by USA TODAY written by the district attorney who previously led the investigation into Arbery’s death said Bryan, also a white man, had joined the two suspects in “hot pursuit” of Arbery.
Alan Tucker, a criminal defense lawyer in Brunswick who was not retained to represent anyone in the case, said he released the video to promote “absolute transparency.” Gough told USA TODAY that Bryan and his family have been harassed in recent weeks.
“Roddie is a family man, NASCAR fan, and enjoys rock and roll. He is not now, and never has been, a ‘vigilante’,” Gough said in a statement earlier this month. He added Bryan was a witness to a crime.
A news conference is scheduled for Friday at GBI Headquarters, the bureau said in a press release.
