Sanford, Florida (CNN) -- A month ago Monday, Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Florida teen, died at the hands of a neighborhood watch volunteer, stirring outrage and protests nationwide.
The African-American teen was fatally shot on February 26 as he walked to his father's fiancee's house in Sanford after a trip to a convenience store. Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman told police he shot the teen in self defense, and he has not been charged.
The 17-year-old's death fueled calls for justice nationwide that continue to grow daily.
Martin's parents will address a city meeting at noon Monday, one that is expected to be attended by Baltimore Raven Ray Lewis and NBA Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing, among others.
The meeting comes a day after the city held a candlelight vigil, a somber event that included quiet chants of "No justice, no peace" as flames flickered.

Media bias in the Trayvon Martin case? 
The politics of Trayvon Martin 
Martin case sparks rallies across U.S. The case has sparked a national debate over the Florida "stand your ground" law and concerns about racial profiling. Martin was black and Zimmerman is a white Hispanic.
Demonstrations have taken place nationwide since the fatal shooting, with protesters wearing hoodies, the same item of clothing the teen had on when he was killed.
Sports stars such as Dwyane Wade and LeBron James have posted pictures of themselves wearing hoodies on social media to show their support.
"We as a nation have become much too violent," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said Sunday. "If it's black on white, it's jail time. If it's white on black, it's revolt time. If it's black on black, or white on white, or brown on brown, it's Miller time."
The weekend saw developments on several fronts:
-- The attorney for Martin's family said prosecution on the state level stands a better chance, adding that a federal hate crime charge against Zimmerman will be a challenge.
"Most state laws tend to be better for the prosecution of state crimes," Daryl Parks told board members of the National Association of Black Journalists. " And that's why we see the federal authorities expressing, although gently, in their statements that they can only do so much if there's some type of race statements involved. The state officials don't have that problem."
Parks said their concern is not a federal arrest over a state arrest.
"We want an arrest, period. And I think that the state aspect of that is the one that's most feasible, most attainable in this matter," he said.
-- There is evidence that the Twin Lakes homeowners' association told residents who saw suspicious activity to call Zimmerman if they could not contact the police, according to a statement by the journalists group.
The Martin family plans to pursue a civil case against the homeowners' association, Parks said.

Outrage over Florida teen's death 
Jesse Jackson: America asleep on race -- A spokeswoman for a risk mitigation and surveillance company said Sunday she could not comment on Zimmerman's current or future employment status, but "we can confirm he is not at the building, nor has he been since the incident."
Her response came after an Orlando Sentinel report that Zimmerman worked at the Maitland, Florida, office.
"Our utmost concern is for the safety of our employees, specifically based on the potential turmoil that could arise from the recent announcement of a bounty for his capture," spokeswoman Brandie Young said in a statement.
A handful of members from the New Black Panther Party have offered a $10,000 reward for Zimmerman's "capture."
-- Zimmerman's attorney said Sunday that after reviewing Florida's "stand your ground" law, he believes it applies to the situation and that his client is innocent.
Initially, lawyer Craig Sonner said last week the law was "not really applicable to this case. The statute on 'stand your ground' is primarily when you're in your house."
The 2005 law allows people to use deadly force anywhere they have a right to be if they have reasonable fear an assailant could seriously harm them or someone else.
The Sanford Police Department said officers were prohibited from arresting Zimmerman the night of the shooting because physical evidence and testimony supported his claim that he acted in self defense in accordance with Florida law.
Zimmerman said he was driving in his gated community when he saw Martin walking and called 911 to report a suspicious person.
He told the dispatcher he was following the teen, but the dispatcher told him that wasn't necessary. Moments later, several neighbors called 911 to report a commotion outside, and police arrived to find Martin dead of a gunshot wound.
Sonner says his client was injured that night and went to the hospital with a broken nose and a serious cut on the back of his head.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott has formed a task force to review the law in the wake of the shooting.
"Your heart goes out to them because ... no family ever imagines this could happen to their child," the governor said.
