Acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee is one of many celebrities who have called attention to the death of Trayvon Martin, a Florida teen who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch captain. One way he's done so is to share his thoughts on Twitter.
The 55-year-old Lee recently tweeted what he thought was the address of the shooter, George Zimmerman, inviting his quarter-million followers to "feel free to reach out and touch him." The address was incorrect -- a couple in their 70's lives there instead.
The original Twitter post, written by Marcus Higgins of California and retweeted by Lee, has since been removed but continues to be re-posted.
According to WPTV, the address is that of a house owned by 42-year-old George W. Zimmerman. His mother Elaine, a 70-year-old school cafeteria lunch lady with a heart condition, and her husband, 72-year-old David McClain, reside there. Zimmerman hasn't lived there in seven years.
