The U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday, 24th of Feb 2015. it will not file civil rights charges against George Zimmerman, concluding its investigation three years after the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer fatally shot unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.
The department said it had not found sufficient evidence that Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murder in state court, intentionally violated the civil rights of Martin, 17.
Martin's family, who have been vocal during the investigation and court process, said they were disappointed in the findings but thanked the Justice Department for their "extensive and thorough investigation into the killing of our son."
