Only two people know for sure what happened in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., on the night of Feb. 26: Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old high schooler, and George Zimmerman, 28, at whose hands Martin died of a gunshot wound to the chest.<\/p>\n
But because Zimmerman \u2014 at least for now \u2014 remains a free man, justice has been called for in the racially charged case, in which an unarmed black teenager was shot by a white neighborhood patrol volunteer. He claims he was defending himself, but others say he was overzealous and lethally reckless.<\/p>\n
Martin was in the gated community with his father as they visited the home of family friends. He had gone to a nearby 7-11 for snacks and was on his way back to the house when he was spotted by Zimmerman, who called police to report a \u201creal suspicious guy.\u201d He told the dispatcher that Martin \u201clooks like he\u2019s up to no good or he\u2019s on drugs or something.\u201d He described Martin as having his hand on his waistband, carrying an object, and coming towards him. \u201cAnd he\u2019s a black male\u2026Something\u2019s wrong with him\u2026These a**holes, they always get away.\u201d<\/p>\n
