Re-NewsIt!: Trayvon Martin - Who is Brandy Green, really?

Brandy and Tracy at early Press conference with Crump

I have so many questions about Tracy's relationship with Brandy Green. For one thing, they are both married.

Brandy Latresa Green
Female | 33 years old
Birthday June 1978
Current Address 2631 Retreat View Cir
City & State Sanford, FL 32771
Marital Status Married

Brandy tells reporter, "He don't know anybody here" and "he was sitting on the porch and this man had killed him, are you serious?". What was on the porch that made Brandy think he was sitting there before he was killed?

"he was sitting on the porch and this man had killed him"

Tracy Martin is married to Alicia Stanley Martin. No divorce on record. According to Alicia, they separated just a few weeks prior to Trayvon's death. She's upset that she raised Trayvon for 15 years and has been all but left out of the public grieving process. She's been interviewed only a couple of times. Media bias is the only explanation.

"He is a very good father," Stanley told the Sentinel. She said she and Martin split up just weeks before Trayvon's death.

Stanley said Trayvon was like a son to her, too. Martin, she said, is "a good person; he's very kindhearted. That's the way his son was, too."
Martin is "trying to get justice for our son," Stanley said.

Alicia Stanley Martin

“He was at my house every day, every night. I took care of him. My kids grew up with him. We grew up as a family. We were a family.”

I have questions about Brandy Green. I have even more questions about why Tracy Martin and Brandy Green said Trayvon had been to the community many times, yet no one at the community knows him. Sure, there was an article claiming the kids at The Retreat at Twin Lakes liked playing football with Trayvon, but which kids? Why didn't they know who the young black man was lying dead in their courtyard on February 26, 2012? Why didn't Tracy know the address?

Did someone besides Brandy Green live in her condominium? A friend ... or a relative?

In order to answer some of these questions, I did a bit of digging. I found someone does, or did live with Brandy, her sister. This information was not too hard to find in public records. She actually commented on the Gobal Grind's March 8, 2012 story.

Who is Zakiya?

She's a member of Marium 549 - the female chapter of black masons in Orlando, as is Brandy Green.

Sister Brandy Green

Sister Zakiya Laurent (Richardson)

Zakiya's last name is Richardson now - I'm not sure if that is her maiden name or married name. I found a high-school mention of Zakiya Richardson. Zakiya has a criminal record under both names:
