Another black man was subject to harm by what is most likely to be racial motivation, shot several times while doing his job.

A Black FedEx driver was shot by a white father and son duo in Mississippi while on the job, and he said he could draw a parallel between the crime committed against him and the one committed against Ahmaud Arbery.

Arbery had been pursued by a white father-son duo as he was jogging just a state away from the FedEx driver in Georgia. The son brutally shot him at close range using a shotgun, and he was killed on the scene.

"Because Ahmaud Arbery didn’t survive to speak up for himself, so I want to take that upon myself to do that for me and him as well," 24-year-old D’Monterrio Gibson told CNN on Friday.

Brandon and Gregory Case, the malicious Mississippi father-son duo, were arrested and charged with the incident earlier this week.

They had chased Gibson in a truck for several minutes and fired at least five shots toward his van while he was delivering packages in Brookhaven on January 24.

"They came out of nowhere," he said. "Even if [the van] was unmarked, civilians still can't take the law into their own hands," he added, citing racism as a reason behind the crime.

Gregory Case was driving a pickup truck with which he attempted to cut Gibson off, but the latter evaded him.

Similarly, Gibson told the Mississippi Free Press he drove down a few houses and was met by another guy, Brandon Case, who tried to make him stop the truck by pointing a gun at him while standing in the middle of the street and signaling him to stop. 

The driver said he shook his head no and hid behind the steering wheel, swerving around the man who started firing shots at the vehicle.

Upon calling 991, the police dispatcher asked him about his location. Upon confirmation, he told Gibson the police had just received a call about a suspicious person at the same location.

The police apprehended the Cases just a week after the incident. The son was charged with feloniously attempting to cause bodily harm with a firearm and a deadly weapon, while his father was charged with unlawfully and feloniously conspiring to commit aggravated assault.

The two were released from jail the next day on bail, causing Gibson and his lawyers to argue that the local police were not taking the case seriously and call for a federal hate crimes investigation.
