The mother of Ahmaud Arbery filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday alleging that the three white Georgia menin the death of her son were acting as surrogate police when they chased him down and shot him.

Attorney Lee Merritt, who represents Arbery's mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, said the lawsuit was filed on directions from Cooper-Jones to pursue all avenues of justice on behalf of her son. Arbery was out for an afternoon jog in Satilla Shores, less than 2 miles from his home, when he stopped and went into a house under construction, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Surveillance video showed Arbery inside the unsecured house looking around, possibly for a water source, and then leaving, authorities said.Prosecutors allege the McMichaels mistook Arbery for a burglar and Bryan helped the father and son chased Arbery in their trucks.

The lawsuit alleges that Johnson and Barnhill each delayed arresting the suspect because they each had a personal relationship with Gregory McMichael. Both prosecutors recused themselves from the case.Attorneys for Travis McMichaels and Bryan both said the lawsuit was expected.
