Jay-Z wants quick action over killing of Ahmaud Arbery

Jay-Z has called for quick action over the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed black man in Georgia.

According to reports, the singer has signed an open letter from the social justice arm of music label Roc Nation which calls for action over the murder of the young man.

The 25-year-old man was allegedly shot dead by a father-son duo as he walked through a neighborhood. 

A video of the incident shows Gregory McMichael and his son Travis McMichael chasing the man in their pick-up truck before allegedly shooting Arbery.

The suspects have been arrested and charged with Arbery's murder. 

The pair told the police that they had chased Arbery since they suspected him of being a burglar.

The incident sparked outrage in the United States, with actors, sportsmen and other prominent people from the black community calling for action against such incidents of racism.
