Politicians join calls for justice over Ahmaud Arbery's killing
Joe Biden among those who take to social media after video showing shooting of unarmed young man shared on social media.
Racial tensions are rising in the US State of Georgia after a young African American man was shot dead while jogging.
A video has emerged showing Ahmaud Arbery, 25, jogging when he was confronted by two white men, former police detective Gregory McMichael, and his son, Travis.
The former policeman then shot Arbery, claiming he thought he was a burglar.
The footage, which was taken by an unidentified witness in another car, shows Arbery jogging down a narrow two-lane road and around a white pickup truck stopped in the right lane, its driver's door open.
As Arbery crosses back in front of the truck, a gunshot is heard.
Arbery is then seen struggling with a man holding a gun as a second man stands in the bed of the truck brandishing a revolver. Two more shots are heard before Arbery stumbles and falls face-down.
Former United States Vice-President Joe Biden has joined politicians calling for a just and transparent investigation into the fatal shooting of unarmed Arbery.
In a tweet on Wednesday, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Biden called for "a swift, full, and transparent investigation" into Arbery's murder
