The kid was a thug, and he died because of it and nothing else...

It is clear he was on a track (statistically) to die, young, in a pool
of blood anyway. (black, school failure from a broken home and an
increasing criminal record)

The only anomaly was that a white guy shot him.
If it was just another black guy doing the shooting, this would not
have even made the news and it is likely nobody would have been
charged.

I disagree with your assertion of Martin having an "increasing criminal
record". He doesn't have a criminal police record period.
He was under suspension from school for having some pot residue in his
locker, but he doesn't have a criminal police record.

He was "under suspicion" for a lot more than that...

Under suspicion? Any arrests? No? Then, bull****.

The cops arrest less 1% of the people who commit burglaries, even when
they have a pretty good idea who they are. That is why the term "known
to the police" is used for people who have never actually taken a
charge.
We had that here in our string of thefts. The cops said they were
pretty sure who it was but they still did not have any hard evidence.
After about a year they finally got what they needed ..,. after a
homeowner caught the guy and held him at gunpoint until the cops got
there. When they searched his house, they closed dozens of cases.

Take Whitey Bulger for example. He, like Treevon was under suspicion for
quite a few crimes before he was caught several decades later and arrested.
