What we do know for sure is that Zimmerman called 911, described Trayvon, stated that Trayvon was running and that he was following Trayvon.

We know what witnesses say about what happened after Zimmerman caught up with Trayvon.

Anything Zimmerman said after the 911 call or calls is not likely to be believed by a jury and might never be heard by a jury.
