Zimmerman called the police to report ‘a suspicious person’. The police advised him to back off and wait for them to investigate. The teenager had gone to purchase some skittles and was only 100’ from his father’s home when he was shot dead. Zimmerman should, at the very least, have called his father for verification before arguing with the kid.
Zimmerman provoked the confrontation by his behavior, waving his gun and acting like a police wannabe.
This appears to be the case. Zimmerman acted like a cop-wannabe and shot the kid, while the kid was trying to get to his father’s house.
Have you seen it reported that Zimmerman knew the father's name and phone number? I haven't.
