No, Trayvon was killed because he threatened a guy with a gun.
This is what happens when low IQ interferes with the high art of predicting outcomes, aka "white privilege".
According to statistics, thugs are what thugs are because of their IQ deficiency.
You are repeating a lie. Trayvon Martin was unarmed. This is the timeline;
About 7 p.m.: George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old neighborhood watch captain, calls 911 to report "a suspicious person" in the gated community Retreat at Twin Lakes. Zimmerman says he is following Martin after the teen started to run, prompting the dispatcher to tell him, "We don't need you to do that." Zimmerman pursues Martin anyway, but then says he lost sight of him.
About 7:10 p.m.: Phone records show Martin was on the phone with his girlfriend around the time he saw Zimmerman while returning on foot from a convenience store to his the home of his father's fiancee.
At a March 20 news conference, Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump says the girl heard someone ask Martin what he was doing and Martin asking why the person was following him. The girl gets the impression that there is an altercation, during which the earpiece falls from Martin's ear and the connection goes dead, according to Crump.
According to an Orlando Sentinel story later confirmed by Sanford police, Zimmerman tells authorities that after Zimmerman briefly lost track of Martin, the teen approached him. After the two exchange words, Zimmerman says, he reaches for his cell phone, and then Martin punches him in the nose. Zimmerman says Martin pins him to the ground and begins slamming his head into the sidewalk.
About 7:25 p.m.: Martin is shot and killed. It is raining.
George Zimmerman: I am sorry 02:31
Zimmerman's dad: He had gashes on head 01:25
At the time of his death, the teenager is unarmed and carrying a small amount of cash, a bag of Skittles candy and a can of iced tea.

Here's the facts. George Zimmerman was a self-appointed neighborhood vigilante for a gated community. Trayvon Martin was a 16 year old kid on his way to a convenience store. He was wearing a hoodie. George Zimmerman assumed he was a bad guy because he was black and wearing a hoodie, (aren't all black guys wearing a hoodie a bad guy?) so he started to follow Trayvon Martin. George Zimmerman called the police dispatcher and told the dispatcher that he was trailing Martin, the dispatcher clearly told Zimmerman, 'we don't need you to do that'. But Zimmerman ran after him, and lost him. Trayvon Martin came back, armed with his bag of Skittles in his pocket and there was an altercation and Zimmerman got punched in the face, but Trayvon Martin was assaulted first by Zimmerman who was intent on stopping him. So Zimmerman pulled out his Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm pistol, the perfect type of weapon for Florida which is a concealed weapon state.
It's disgusting that Trayvon Martin, a dead 16 year old teen had to undergo the rash of judgment and slander about his character and motives without the ability to defend himself. Everyone got to persecute Trayvon Martin, and how he was everything from a dope smoker to a gang member.
And finally, that the laws in Florida are so messed up that it is legally possible for a person who accosts another person on the street who was minding his own business in the first place, follows them, and kills them to walk away without spending a day in jail. AND get his damned gun back.
