On Saturday evening (July 13), Florida man George Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of a teenage boy, Trayvon Martin. The infamous case has taken the media by storm and gotten the attention of the nation as a whole, including celebrities.
"Bow Down" singer Beyoncé is one of a slew of celebrities who have come out in support of Martin, who was shot and killed while unarmed by Zimmerman, who was found not guilty due to self-protection and Florida's Stand Your Ground law.
At her Saturday concert in Nashville, Beyoncé dedicated her encore of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and her own "Halo" to Martin following a moment of silence.
Watch a clip of the performance from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena below:
Dedicating her encore to Martin is not the only way Beyoncé has honored Martin. The songstress posted a simple image to her tumblr of the word "Martin" written (seen above).
Beyoncé isn't the only musician to react to the polarizing trial outcome. Here's what some other singers has to say regarding Zimmerman's not guilty verdict:
