Sanford, Florida Murder

A young teen, 17 years old, was shot and killed in Sanford, Florida. his name was Trayvon Martin shot by George Zimmerman. His parents think he was shot by one of the neighborhood watch volunteers because of his race. Trayvon was African American. George was on the phone with police saying he saw some suspicious person in the neighborhood on February 26 at nightfall. "Something's wrong with him. Yep. He's coming to check me out," Zimmerman told a police dispatcher in a 911 call released Monday. "He's got something in his hands. I don't know what his deal is. Send officers over here." Trayvon was just walking back to his father's fiancee's home from the nearby convenience store to get some skittles and an iced tea. Police have not charged Zimmerman yet. He told police he shot the teen in self-defense, and police say they have no evidence to refute his story. Tracy Martin (father)said he's "positive" that it's his son's voice that can be heard screaming for help in the neighbors' calls. "It's heart wrenching, because those actually were my son's last words," he said. "And to hear his last words being cries of help, is devastating. It tears me apart as a father." At the Seminole County courthouse, a handful of student protesters and a law professor from Florida A&M University met with a representative of the state attorney's office to discuss the ongoing investigation while protesters demanded Zimmerman's arrest. Many carried signs in remembrance of Trayvon.
