The Florida teenager who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer last month, has been honored in many cities throughout this great country. 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot in his neighborhood after shopping, while wearing a hoodie.
The shooter, George Zimmerman, claimed he was acting in self-defense when he shot the teen and has so far not been charged by Sanford Florida police. The US Justice Department and the FBI are now investigating this case.
