Martin, an unarmed 17 year old, was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer as he returned to his father’s girlfriend’s house after a trip to the convenience store.

Martin was unarmed, but was carrying a bag of Skittles, a can of iced tea, and his wallet after he was shot by George Zimmerman, the watch volunteer.

The shooting, and the local police’s handling of it, have become major news stories and sparked national conversations around racial profiling and gun laws.

In the aftermath of the shooting, protesters calling for Zimmerman’s arrest donned hoodies and waved Skittles at protests around the country.
