Lions' Tracy Walker says cousin Ahmaud Arbery was 'a beautiful soul'

The death of Ahmaud Arbery has captured the attention of the nation, but it has struck a deeply personal chord with Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker.

Arbery was killed in February after he was confronted by two armed men while jogging through a Brunswick, Georgia, neighborhood. The men, Travis McMichael and his father Gregory McMichael, allegedly believed Arbery was a suspected burglar and were attempting to make a citizen's arrest. An ensuing altercation resulted in Arbery being fatally shot.
