Where Is George Zimmerman Now? George is an American who fatally shot Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, on February 26, 2012. Let’s learn everything there is to know about him.
An American shooter, George Zimmerman, was later released due to a lack of evidence. He went on to criticize the federal government as well as President Barack Obama.
On February 26, 2012, Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old African-American high school student, was fatally shot in Sanford, Florida.
On July 13, 2013, he was released from all charges and found not guilty in a case brought against him in Florida, but he was later the target of a shooting.
George was convicted of attempted murder, but on July 13, 2019, he filed a lawsuit against the Martin family and other people involved in the trial.
He filed another $100 million lawsuits against them for false evidence and abuse, and on February 18, 2020, he filed a $265 million defamation lawsuit against two others.
Is George Zimmerman Released From Prison?
George Zimmerman, who shamefully sued his victim’s family for a large sum, is no longer in the news in 2021.
He was mentioned during the course of the investigation, but there has been no recent news about him.
George must be a resident of the United States because he was born in Virginia to American parents. His trial began on June 10, 2013, in Sanford, and he was acquitted of all charges on July 13, the same year.

Nonetheless, he was investigated by the DOJ (U.S. Department of Justice) on civil rights violations for three years in a row.
In 2014, his brother stated that George was homeless and jobless and that he was traumatized because his liberty was still taken away; his mental state had improved.
George Zimmerman Net Worth – How Much?
George Zimmerman’s net worth is estimated to be $10 million USD.

Where Is George Zimmerman Now?
A jury acquitted George Zimmerman of any wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of unarmed black man Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, in July 2013.
Martin and Zimmerman met in a South Florida gated community where George worked as a crime-watch volunteer. George followed Trayvon into the compound against the advice of a 911 operator because he appeared suspicious.
Following an altercation between Trayvon and George, Zimmerman fatally shot the 17-year-old. Zimmerman’s acquittal sparked national outrage and aided in the formation of the Black Lives Matter movement.
It’s disgusting and unacceptable that George Zimmerman not only walks free but is now trying to sue grieving parents of the child HE murdered. This is why we will NEVER be silent and continue to fight for liberation and justice. #blacklivesmatter https://t.co/96rEpMgxGd

George will not be able to outrun the Trayvon Martin shooting because he does not want to. Zimmerman claims that the media will not allow him to live a normal life, yet he is the only one bringing up the case. According to George, as reported by The Daily Beast:
Zimmerman was scheduled to give a step-by-step narrative’ of the events leading up to Trayvon’s shooting at the canceled Lethal Force Gun Laws 2021 Tactics & Strategies Conference in November 2021.
The organizers had reserved a weekend at the Riverside Hotel in Boise, but the hotelier canceled the event after learning that George would be speaking. According to a statement issued by the Garden City hotel’s ownership group.

George Zimmerman’s Wife Files for Divorce
George Zimmerman’s wife Shellie has filed for divorce less than two months after he was acquitted of murder in the death of teenager Trayvon Martin.
She filed the paperwork just days after she said in an interview aired exclusively on ABC News that the ordeal of the trial had put a strain on their marriage.
The petition says the couple, married in 2007, “separated on Aug. 13, 2013 and are not presently cohabiting as husband and wife. The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.” They have no children.
Shellie Zimmerman, 26, has asked for “equitable distribution” of their assets as well as their debts. She also seeks sole custody of their two dogs, a Rottweiler named Oso and a smaller dog named Leroy.
She filed for divorce Thursday in Seminole County, Fla.
According to the financial disclosure form, she said she is unemployed. She listed her monthly expenses as $755. The couple owes $3,700.20 on their 2011 taxes, according to the form.
Since they separated, George Zimmerman has given her $4,300 for living expenses and the “source of funds appears to be Zimmerman Legal Defense Fund,” according to the financial disclosure form.
Shawn Vincent, a spokesman for George Zimmerman’s legal team, said there would be no comment.
George Zimmerman’s brother, Robert, tweeted, “Pray 4 them.”
Shellie Zimmerman pleaded guilty last month to perjury for lying about the couple’s finances when the judge was setting bail for her husband. She appeared in court without her husband.
She said in the interview with freelance journalist Christi O’Connor that she felt “very much alone” without him in the courtroom to support her when she pleaded guilty.
During the interview, Shellie Zimmerman said she is “going to have to think about” whether she stayed married to George.
After George Zimmerman, 29, was charged with murder in Martin’s 2012 death, the couple was inundated with death threats, went into hiding and had to live with security guards.
“We have been pretty much like gypsies. … We’ve lived in a 20-foot trailer in the woods, scared every night that someone was going to find us and that we’d be out in the woods alone and that it would be horrific,” she said.
Shellie Zimmerman said that on the night that Martin, 17, was killed, she was not at their home because she and her husband had had an argument and she had left to stay with her father.
Despite the tension in their marriage, Shellie Zimmerman said she believes her husband’s story that he shot and killed Martin in self defense, and said the most hurtful thing she experienced was hearing that he was a “murderer or some sort of racist.”
Shellie Zimmerman must serve 100 hours of community service and one year probation for her perjury.
George Zimmerman was also in the news this week when he was pulled over for speeding Tuesday for a second time this summer.
