Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old African American who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, on February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida. Zimmerman confronted Martin, who was walking home from a convenience store after purchasing snacks, leading to a confrontation. Zimmerman claimed self-defense, and his acquittal in 2013 sparked nationwide protests and discussions about race, gun laws, and justice in America, fueling the Black Lives Matter movement. The case highlighted issues of racial profiling and systemic inequality in the U.S. legal system.
