Black Lives Matter: The Lost Life Of Trayvon Martin

Police & Paramedics Were Unable To Resuscitate

Police arrived on the scene at around 7:17 p.m., just seconds after Zimmerman had an altercation with the young man. Zimmerman, who was licensed to carry a firearm, admitted to officer Timothy Smith that he had shot Trayvon. Officer Smith confiscated the weapon and handcuffed him. The officer noticed that Zimmerman’s back was wet and covered in grass. Zimmerman’s nose was bleeding, and so was the back of his head. Two other officers arrived on the scene and attempted to revive the teenager. Shortly after paramedics arrived and after doing CPR, they declared Martin dead at 7:30 p.m.
