Arbery, 25, was shot on February 23 by Travis McMichael, one of three white men who chased him down in pickup trucks in a residential neighborhood in the town of Brunswick.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Richard Dial told a preliminary hearing that another of the three men, William Bryan, admitted that McMichael used the epithet.
"Before police arrival, while Mr Arbery was on the ground, he heard Travis McMichael make the statement, 'fucking n*****,'" Dial told the hearing.
