Young boys hold images of Trayvon, who was 17 when he was killed. Martin was wearing a hooded sweatshirt when he was killed last month in a gated community. The incident has drawn national attention and sparked debate over Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law since George Zimmerman, 28, has claimed self-defense in the fatal shooting.
