24 hours after the announcement of a verdict in the George Zimmerman murder trial, reaction continues to pour in from around the country.
A resident of Patterson Park -- a Baltimore neighborhood with a high Hispanic population --claims to have witnessed a group of Black teenagers "chase down a Hispanic male with a handgun pointed at his back."
Taking place shortly before 10:00 p.m., it's alleged the teens caught the man and beat him in the middle of the street before running off yelling "For Trayvon," in apparent reference to Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen killed by Zimmerman, in an incident claimed to be self defense.

The incident is said to have taken place at the intersection of Linwood and Fairmount Avenues in the East Baltimore neighborhood.
Sources claim local residents to be on edge as a result of the incident. If confirmed, it could be the only reported incident of violence in the city, as a reaction to the controversial Florida verdict.
Apparently a report has been made with Baltimore Police, and the victim is said to have sustained minor injuries.
A request for confirmation was sent to Baltimore Police. As of this 11:00 p.m. they have not yet responded.
