Hundreds Flock to Trayvon Martin Vigil

Wearing hoodies and carrying votive candles, more than 200 people assembled near the fountain in Marion Square Tuesday night for a vigil in memory of Trayvon Martin.

Martin, 17, was shot and killed Feb. 26 in Samford, Fla. George Zimmerman, the man who shot him claimed he acted in self-defense. Martin was not armed at the time.

"It's heartbreaking," vigil organizer Matt Rabon said about the shooting.

The crowd shared a moment of silence for Martin and prayed for both the Martin, Zimmerman and thier families.

"The biggest injustice, I think, is the fact that he killed someone and has not been arrested," Sara Daise said. "To kill someone and not be arrested says to me that the person you killed is not important."

Daise attended the vigil wearing a hoodie and carrying a sign that read "I am Trayvon Martin."

Organizers  asked the crowd to return for the "Million Hoodie March" set for 5 p.m. Wednesday at Marion Square, and another rally set for 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Stern Center Garden on the College of Charleston campus.
