. .A volunteer captain of a Florida neighbourhood watch, who shot dead a black teen and then claimed he acted in self defence, had a 'history of aggressive tactics,' it has today emerged.
.Neighbours in George Zimmerman's gated community, at Twin Lakes, near Orlando, had issued complaints about the 26-year-old to local police and the homeowners association before the February 26 shooting, a homeowner said.
.Zimmerman has not been charged in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, 17, who was gunned down as he returned to his fathers house with candy for his younger brother.
. Martin had been visiting his father from Miami. .According to a police report, Zimmerman, who was patrolling the neighbourhood in his car, had initially called police to report a 'suspicious person in the area'.
.Zimmerman was told to keep his distance, but before officers could reach the scene, there was some kind of confrontation between him and Martin. The teen was shot once in the chest just yards from his father's home. Zimmerman claimed he had fired his 9mm handgun in self-defence and the police say they have no reason to suspect he is lying.
.A resident, who attended an emergency homeowner's association meeting after the shooting on March 1, told the Huffington Post how 'one man was escorted out because he openly expressed his frustration because he had previously contacted the Sanford Police Department about Zimmerman approaching him and even coming to his home.
.'It was also made known that there had been several complaints about George Zimmerman and his tactics' in his neighborhood watch role, they added.
.The complaints against Zimmerman come amid protests over the killing. The Martin family and their lawyers have called the shooting an outrage and want Zimmerman arrested. They believe Zimmerman - who is white - had profiled the teen, who is black.
.Civil rights leaders, including members of the NAACP and the Rev Al Sharpton, say they are also preparing to back the Martin family.
.Rev Sharpton told the Huffington Post: 'This case is disturbing to say the least. This is appalling, to think that this guy admitted to initiating the conversation and that there was no crime other than the killing of this young man. Yet, (Zimmerman) is walking around with no threat of an arrest.'
. snip .State Attorney's Office will then decide whether to present it to a grand jury.
.The chief was heckled by protestors during the press conference when he said he did not believe investigators had enough evidence to charge Zimmerman.
