Police recordings made the night a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain allegedly shot and killed an unarmed 17-year-old boy outside his stepmother's home sent the boy's mother screaming from the room and prompted his father to declare, "He killed my son," according to a family representative.

The series of emergency and non-emergency calls to police depict the apparent progression of events on Feb. 26 that led to the watch captain, George Zimmerman, 28, who is white, allegedly shooting Trayvon Martin, a high-school junior who is black, as the teen made his way home with a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea.

The contents of the calls and the family's reaction to them were recounted to ABC News by a representative of the boy's family, Ryan Julison, and ABC News affiliate WFTV published excerpts from the 911 calls.

On one call to a non-emergency dispatch number, according to Julison, Zimmerman says, "He's checking me out," and then, "This guy looks like he's on drugs, he's definitely messed up."

"There's a real suspicious guy. This guy looks like he's up to no good, on drugs or something," Zimmerman can be heard telling the dispatcher.

"These a**holes always get away," he adds.

The dispatcher is heard trying to discourage Zimmerman, asking, "Are you following him?.. Okay, we don't need you to do that."

Within minutes, however, 911 calls are being made to police reporting the two are fighting.

"They're wrestling right in the back of my porch," one frantic caller says. "The guy's yelling help and I'm not going out."

On a second call someone's screams for help can be heard and what sounds like two gunshots.

The caller's boyfriend shouts, "Get down," and after the second apparent gunshot the shouts for help cease, Julison told ABC News.

"There's gun shots. Uh, I'm pretty sure the guy is dead out here, holy sh**," a caller says into the phone.

One witness describes Zimmerman after the shooting.

"He's out there with a flashlight. The guy is raising his hands up saying he shot the person," the caller said

my heart goes out to these families, their lives have been uprooted senselessly,,,,

"The dispatcher is heard trying to discourage Zimmerman, asking, "Are you following him?.. Okay, we don't need you to do that.""


he wanted to kill that kid... he didn't want to follow orders... overzealous dipchit that should have never had a gun. and these neighbor watches, they are not police, they just supposed to watch, and call the police if necessary.
he should be hanged for taking that boys life.

it wouldnt bring that poor child back but , it might give the parents some closure if there was at least some APPEARANCE that a real investigation would happen and charges would be filed,,,,

There is a couple of ways to look at this, but I don't care enough about it to write my theories on the matter.

i guess barry only cares when it has to do with white people....

I'm surprised he hasn't called upon Sharpton or Jackson yet to march and protest!

it was a mexican the shot the kid, so obama doesn't want to get involved...

I think its just a case of picking battles. NAACP And a whole host of other groups and radio stations are all over this already. The racial element makes it too hot an issue for OBama at this time after all the accusations flown at him behind going to Wrights church or admonishing the cop who arrested a black professor for trying to get into his own home.

People are sensitive when you even bring up race, OBama is playing this one smart.

I don't think this was racially motivated because the shooter is Mexican. As stated by someone on here over and over and over only white people can be racist.

and thats why obama don't care, there are no white people involved...

the original story did report zimmerman as white,,,has that changed?

"The series of emergency and non-emergency calls to police depict the apparent progression of events on Feb. 26 that led to the watch captain, George Zimmerman, 28, who is white, allegedly shooting Trayvon Martin, a high-school junior who is black, as the teen made his way home with a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea. "
from your story,
and this is from the one i posted:
"The White House said Monday that President Barack Obama won't be getting involved in the case of Trayvon Martin, the black 17-year-old Florida high school student shot dead last month by a Hispanic neighborhood watchman in an incident that has sparked a national uproar."

A HISPANIC NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHMAN

thats a great way to word it... wth?

i was wondering what mexican was named zimmerman...and george, not jorge....

They had his picture on one of the news channels Saturday!

the reports say he is white,, some mexicans 'look' white and some whites 'look' mexican

Could be! He sounds some some of the Mexicans around here though is why I'm saying that, has a little bit of an accent.

Canadians can be red, white, black, and yellow. I don't know about Mexico, but sure as Jesus ascended, there must be some grandchilren of old nazi war criminals who found refuge there during the troubling years of the Nurenberg Trials.

no doubt

its why I put the word look in parentheses

because Im from an asthetically diverse family myself, I know how diverse appearances can be within any given race...

Before weighing the story...

Whos gun was it? (my watch carries only spray and speak techology).

Who cried 'help'?

the reports say the teen had just a cell phone, skittles and a pop, after returning from the store to try to finish watching the ball game

my guess is , it was the 'watchmans' gun

its not clear who cried help, but the watchman had 100 pounds on the teen and followed him,,,and (so far it seems) had a gun,,,,

my guess would be that poor kid was crying out after some grown man followed and assaulted or tried to restrain him,,,

the police also said not to bother the kid too...that would be a matter for the police, not a "watchman"
