Jay Z’s forthcoming docuseries on the life and death of Trayvon Martin has sparked notice from the man who killed the unarmed 17-year-old in 2012.
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter in Martin’s death, is now threatening the music mogul and Michael Gasparro, the project’s co-executive producer, according to reports.
Zimmerman said the series’ production team made unannounced visits to his parents’ and uncle’s homes to get them on camera. He said the team “harassed” his family, but didn’t go into detail about how.
A private investigator with the crew trespassed at his uncle’s home, Zimmerman said.
Zimmerman also said he would “beat Jay-Z,” adding that “anyone who fucks with my parents will be fed to an alligator.”
He referred to Martin’s shooting, saying, “I know how to handle people who fuck with me, I have since February 2012.”
Rapper Snoop Dogg responded to Zimmerman’s threat on Instagram Sunday, making it clear he was in Jay-Z’s corner
