The weapon that killed Trayvon Martin is no longer in the hands of George Zimmerman. The Kel-Tec PF-9 pistol that Zimmerman used when he shot and killed the 17-year-old in 2012 went up for auction on UnitedGunGroup.com and the sale was closed today (May 18), according to News 6.
The auction vetted nearly 200 bids, with the highest offer listed at six digits. The Orlando outlet says that the gun still has the case number written on it from when it was used as evidence in Zimmerman’s murder trial. He was found not guilty and acquitted of all charges in 2013.
News 6 claims the highest bid for the weapon was $1138,900, but TMZ says this number was one of many fake bids, which caused the auction house to add a verification system to the sale.
The firearm was first listed on GunBroker.com, but the posting for the auction was taken down. Zimmerman then took the gun to UnitedGunGroup.
“I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American firearm icon,” Zimmerman wrote in the original listing for the gun. “The firearm for sale is the firearm that was used to defend my life and end the brutal attack from Trayvon Martin on 2/26/2012.”
Kendrick Lamar was rumored to be the purchaser of the gun, but that story proved to be false.
In the midst of the news that the gun was going to auction, Tracy Martin, Trayvon Martin’s father, released a statement through his foundation, saying he has “no comment on the actions of that person that murdered Trayvon.”
Zimmerman then outed the teenager’s parents, blaming their lack of parenting skills for his confrontation with their son. Zimmerman maintains his position that he acted in self-defense when he fired the pistol on February 26, 2012.
im white and this guy is starting to rly annoy me.. black people (or atleast the family of trayvon) there is no excuse as to why this man is still alive. none
zimmerman is hispanic. white has nothing to do with this situation. so stating you’re white is irrevelant but good point
He still a bitch!! Fuck him and you
1. Clearly this guy buys into notions of White supremacy and 2. Hispanic is an “ethnic origin” not a race according to the U.S. Census Bureau. He would be classified as a White Hispanic, whereas David Ortiz would be classified as a Black Hispanic.
