Tulsa Vigil To Be Held For Shooting Victim Trayvon Martin

A group of Tulsans will hold a vigil for Florida shooting victim Trayvon Martin Monday night. Martin was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch captain.

The unarmed teenager was coming back from a store wearing a hooded sweatshirt and carrying a bag of Skittles. The watch captain said he shot Martin in self-defense.

The death has become a rallying call for protestors who say Martin was shot because of the way he looked and the clothes he wore.
