George Zimmerman sued the family of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old who he shot and killed in 2017, for $100 million, accusing Martin’s parents of defamation and makes other claims.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, said he shot Martin out of self-defense in 2012 and was ultimately acquitted. The teen was visiting his father at the time.
