Today would’ve been Ahmaud Arbery’s 26th birthday. But he’s not here to celebrate because he was senselessly shot and killed doing something to make his life healthier and stronger. He went out for a jog while being Black. I wonder what was he thinking in those last seconds of his life? Unimaginable to go for a run in 2020 and end up dead because of the color of your skin. I spoke with his mom Wanda yesterday who says she feels better now that the two men have finally been arrested. But they were only arrested because WE saw the video. Today people everywhere walked 2.23 miles in the name of Ahmaud and justice. We did 2.26 in honor of his 26th birthday ?? #IRunWithMaud

Winfrey also sent his mother a gift, although she has yet to reveal the mystery package. Winfrey, along with everyday citizens and celebs, honored Arbery’s birthday with the best gift, a 2.23-mile walk/jog on his special day. The 2.23 alludes to the day of his death, February 23.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) identified and arrested the two men who shot Arbery, ten weeks after the fatal shooting, which took place in February.
