So you've posted a Florida statute, but not any evidence to establish probable cause to arrest Zimmerman for violating it.

Indeed, Zimmerman is promptly excused by: without lawful justification according to the provisions of chapter 776 and in cases in which such killing shall not be excusable homicide or murder

It is an affirmative defense to this statute if the person is acting in self defense. Even if you attempt to make the point that Zimmerman was the "initial aggressor", he remains excused by 776.

A grand jury will be convened April 10 to consider whether to bring state charges, which could include second-degree murder or manslaughter.
