Here are the facts so far: The unarmed teen had just left a convenience store after purchasing a pack of skittles and an iced tea. He then crossed paths with George Zimmerman, neighborhood watch member.

Zimmerman admitted to following the teen, saying that he was wearing a hoodie, deeming him suspicious by Zimmerman’s interpretation. Zimmerman was carrying a fully loaded 9-millimeter weapon. Minutes later Trayvon Martin was shot at close range, resulting in his death.

Police did not arrest or charge Zimmerman, who claims that he fired the fatal shot in self-defense.

New York is one of the many states engulfed with protest demanding that Zimmerman be brought up on charges.
