In Sanford Florida, a rally took place Monday to bring light to the tragic story of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was reportedly shot and killed a few weeks for looking suspicious!
Martin was visiting his father when he decided to walk to the store to get some candy. While he was walking back, he was followed by George Zimmerman who called 911 and reported "suspicious" teen. Zimmerman then followed Martin until he ran, the two had an altercation and Zimmerman shot UNAMRED Martin in the chest; leaving him face down, 70 feet from his fathers home....lifeless.
Police then questioned Zimmerman, but then let him walk free even after he confessed to the murder but in self defense. Authorities have since released numerous 911 recordings from witnesses and neighbors that heard screams of help, followed by the gunshot. Demonstrators are hoping these will be used to help bring justice to Trayvon.
