I don't know if you're aware, but robbery and especially suspected robbery don't come with a death sentence. It's clear he attempted to flee 2 guys with guns before getting in an altercation with the guy out of the truck.
If you walked down the street and 2 guys with guns stopped you in a truck, would you assume they were there to effect a "citizens arrest"? Or would you flee? Give me a break

On another site, an African American re-posted this comment from the video:
The father son chased him up that street in the OTHER direction. They tried to cut him off and he doubled back. The father was on foot a little and then jumped into the back of the truck. Arbery saw the car coming at him when he turned to run the other way. The truck turned around and drove past him and then stopped at the street corner. Arbery was running FROM the guy videotaping from three houses away. Arbery : FIGHT or flight? He chose to fight as he was tired from the running. He grabs the gun and it goes off. They struggle and it goes off again. Somehow he goes from being on one side of the gun to the other, This allows him to HIT the man with his right hand. As he does it goes off a third time. When you get all the events you under stand better. He was seen leaving a house. At :28 and :30 you see where he threw two things on the ground. A thief fights those chasing him and he gets shot.
I already said let the justice system sort it out. To knee jerk and say it was murder...
