George Zimmerman, the man who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin for what he pled was self-defense, is making threats to anyone willing to bother his family about the upcoming docu-series produced by Jay Z.

Jay Z struck a deal with The Weinstein Company to air the documentary titled, Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story, on The Paramount Network. Since Harvey Weinstein's scandal, it's safe to say they're no longer going through that banner but the documentary is still in production.

Zimmerman told The Blast that about two weeks ago, that a production team headed by the docuseries executive producer Michael Gasparro showed up unannounced to his parent's and uncle's homes in Florida to get them to speak on camera.

The Blast notes,

"He claims that production harassed, his family, but refused to elaborate on what the harassment was. He also would not answer whether his family agreed at any point to go on camera with the producers."

Zimmerman also made a chilling and disturbing reference to Martin's murder in 2012 saying,

"I know how to handle people who fuck with me, I have since February 2012."

Zimmerman is also upset over money he claims was paid to his ex-wife in order for her to participate, as well as money not paid to his parents or family members. Zimmerman adds that above the production team he holds Jay-Z and Gasparro most responsible threatening them saying,

"Anyone who f***s with my parents will be fed to an alligator."

At this time there is no formal premiere date announced for Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story.
