As the country sat waiting for the arrest of George Zimmerman a few in the music world made tributes to Trayvon Martin. We are featuring one artist LOS with their tribute named "Wit my hoodie on"
The fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman took place on February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida. Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old African American male who was unarmed; George Zimmerman is a 28-year-old man of mixed ethnic descent who at the time of the shooting was acting as a community watch coordinator.
Martin was walking to the home of his father's girlfriend in a gated community where he was staying when Zimmerman began following him, while contacting the Sanford Police Department to report what he described as suspicious behavior. Soon afterward, there was a confrontation that ended with Zimmerman fatally shooting Martin once in the chest at close range.
