A relative of George Zimmerman’s labeled him as harboring racial bias against Black people. A source said that prosecutors interviewed a woman who claimed that the 28-year-old was racist. The woman, labeled as “Witness 9” contacted police two days after Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.

The woman called to speak with Officer Chris Serino, who was in charge of investigating the homicide. When Serino was unavailable, she spoke with Officer Trekelle Perkins on the matter. “I don’t know what happened,” she said, reportedly sounding emotional. “I don’t know at all who this kid was, or anything else. But I know George. And I know that he does not like Black people, and he would start something.”

According to the report, the woman was fearful of her identity being revealed, and explained that she had been estranged from Zimmerman. “I don’t talk to him because of the things that he says … the person he is … the things that he does. I know his mother, I know everybody and they’re all the same way, and I hate that. They’re just mean and [they’re] open about it.” Zimmerman was also labeled as “a very confrontational person.”
