Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot and killed last month by neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman, 28, while Martin was visiting family in Central Florida.
Sanford police said on Feb. 26 just after 7 p.m., Zimmerman was on neighborhood watch and reported seeing a suspicious man walking down the street. Martin, who was unarmed, was on his way home after buying a bag of Skittles and a drink at a nearby convenience store. Police said the two got into a scuffle and Zimmerman shot Martin in the chest.
Zimmerman was questioned by Sanford police but has not been arrested. Police said Zimmerman told them he acted in self-defense. Police said they had no probable cause to arrest him, and the case has been sent to the state attorney's office.
"I don't understand why this man has not been arrested," Sybrina Fulton said.
