Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-FL) plans to ask U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to review the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Brown, who met with Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett today, have both agreed to request the Department of Justice to handle review the case.
On Wednesday, before a community meeting, Triplett indicated he had requested the Department of Justice to review the matter.
Martin, a 17-year-old unarmed black teen, was shot and killed by a gun-toting neighborhood watch member, George Zimmerman, in a gated community in Sanford.
Since the shooting on February 26, Zimmerman has not been charged. He told investigators that he acted in self-defense when he shot Martin.
On the evening of February 26, Zimmerman had called 911 to report that a suspicious person, who later turned out to be Martin, was seen at The Retreat at Twin Lakes Townhomes.
Police confirmed at the time of Zimmerman’s call, he was told by a dispatcher not to follow the person and that a police officer was on the way to the location.
Sanford police said they would release the 911 tapes surrounding the incident later on Friday.
