A self-appointed neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman who pursued and then shot dead an unarmed Martin outside his stepmother's home last month in Sanford, Fla., reportedly wanted to be a police officer and had called 9-1-1 50 times in the last year.

Martin, a Black high-school junior, was making his way home with a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea on Feb. 26 when Zimmerman spotted him, called a non-emergency dispatch number to report Martin looked intoxicated, followed him, and then minutes later after an altercation, shot him.

Zimmerman, 28, who is White, claimed self defense. He was never arrested and has been charged with no crime, sparking national outrage
