Neighbourhood watch man Zimmerman shot dead unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin but under Florida's 'stand your ground' law cannot be arrested.

George Zimmerman will turn himself in to authorities in the event he is charged with a crime in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, his defence lawyer Craig Sonner has said.

A new photo of George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon Martin, has been released.

The photo on the left is a 2005 police booking photo provided by the Orange County Jail via The Miami Herald, and on the right is an undated but recent photo of Zimmerman taken from the Orlando Sentinel's website.

Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in the town of Sanford, Florida, told police he shot unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on February 26th.

The photo of Zimmerman on right is a sharp contrast from the widely used 2005 booking photo from an arrest in Miami Dade County.

The father of a neighbourhood watch volunteer who killed an unarmed black teenager in Florida, insists his son had received a death threat.

28-year-old George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin dead in what he said was self-defence after claiming he had been attacked.

His father, former judge Robert Zimmerman, gave an interview to local TV news station Fox 35, played out on CNN, but asked that his face not be shown.

He insisted that Trayvon had been beating his son when he was shot.
