Both the docuseries and the movie will be based on books about Martin’s death

The handgun used to kill unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 has been sold for $250,000 (£172,000), US media say.

The man who killed the teenager and ignited the Black Lives Matter movement explains why he’s selling the gun, what he thinks of Hillary and Trump, and why he’s the real victim.

A listing for the weapon was removed f-rom the GunBroker.com site Thursday morning, minutes after the auction was to begin, as negative traffic about the sale exploded online.

Bidding for the gun was supposed to open at $5,000 at 11 a.m. Thursday but a link to the auction said: “Sorry, but the item you requested is no longer in the system.”
