Report: Shooter in racially charged death often called cops

By Melanie Eversley, USA TODAY

The white neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen has sparked outrage appeared to be fixated on young black males, according to a report in The Miami Herald.

Criminal justice student George Zimmerman, 28, the self-appointed head of the neighborhood watch at the Retreat of Twin Lakes in Sanford, Fla., is credited with cracking some crimes and thwarting others, the Herald reports, but his shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is attracting criticism from across the country.

According to the Herald, Zimmerman would often go door-to-door in the neighborhood, warning residents to be careful of young black males. The news organization also reports Zimmerman was energetic in his efforts to protect the neighborhood, and that he contacted police 46 times since Jan. 1, 2011, to report disturbances, break-ins and other incidents.

"He would circle the block and circle it; it was weird," Teontae Amie, 17, told the Herald.
