Parents demand answers after neighborhood watch captain allegedly kills teen Trayvon Martin
(CBS/AP) Sanford, Fla.- The family of a teen fatally shot by a neighborhood watch leader is now calling for police release the 911 tapes preceding the incident and arrest the man who shot their son, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.
On the evening of Feb. 26, Trayvon Martin, 17, was visiting his father in a gated community near Orlando and had gone out to buy Skittles. Police say neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman called 911 and reported the teen as a suspicious person.
According to WKMG, a 911 dispatcher told Zimmerman that officers were on the way and not to interfere.
But when police arrived, they found Martin dead. Police said the two got into a scuffle and Zimmerman, 28, shot Martin in the chest. Zimmerman, who is claiming self-defense, was questioned but has not been arrested, reports WKMG.
Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee said he is meeting with investigators Monday to discuss the case.
