Trayvon Martin 911 call audio has been released.

The unarmed Florida teen was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch captain identified as 28-year-old George Zimmerman.

Zimmerman shot Martin when he made a 911 call to report a suspicious man. Though the dispatcher told Zimmerman to not approach Martin, he failed orders and did.

Although confessing he pulled the trigger, Zimmerman has maintained his innocence saying it was in self-defense. Zimmerman has yet to be charged because police say there are “no grounds to disprove his story of what happened.” He remains free as the state attorney investigates.

The Trayvon Martin 911 call tapes that were released, confirms reports of Trayvon’s screams for help as multiple shots were fired.

“Audio Tape: Yelling Gunshot Heard

CNN Reports:

911 tapes released Friday detail moments of terror in the neighborhood as residents made a flurry of calls describing a gunshot and a teen wailing for help.

In some of the recordings, a voice screams “Help, help!” in the background.

“There were gunshots right outside my house. There’s someone screaming, I just heard a guy shot,” a neighbor says. “Hurry up, they are right outside my house.”

Recordings mirrored the same details: A man outside was crying for help, followed by the sound of a gunshot.

“Hurry please … there’s someone screaming outside,” a neighbor whispers. “There’s a gunshot, hurry up … there’s someone screaming. I just heard a gunshot.”

In another call, a woman begs the dispatchers to send help, saying someone is “screaming and hollering” for help.

Moments later, she describes a light at the scene of the shooting.

“Oh my God …” she said, “There’s still somebody out there walking with a flashlight.”

Zimmerman told police he shot the teen in self defense, authorities said, and remains free as the state attorney investigates. Police said he has not been charged because there are no grounds to disprove his story of what happened.
