Insensitive: These Halloween costumes featuring two Florida men portraying Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman created an online storm
An racially offensive set of Halloween costumes has caused widespread anger after they were published on social media on Friday night.
William Filene, 25, is dressed in blackface as Trayvon Martin, a splash of fake blood on his chest representing where the unarmed 17-year-old was fatally shot in the chest on February 2012.
Greg Cimeno, 22, is wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with Neighborhood Watch. He portrays George Zimmerman, who was controversially acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges after a high-profile Florida trial in July.
Just for fun? Caitlin Cimeno posted the images on her Instagram account and Facebook page
The images were posted on Facebook and Instagram by Caitlin Cimeno - the woman who also features in the pictures.
She captioned the images: 'Happy Halloween from Zimmerman & trayvon' with a smiley face emoticon.
The Smoking Gun reports that both men live in Cape Coral, Florida. Caitlin Cimeno reportedly lives in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Greg Cimeno commented 'Anything for the laugh' on Caitlin's posting. When some of her friends questioned the costumes by writing 'Not too funny,' Greg replied, 'Not too funny. It's f*****g hilarious!!!'

Joke: Caitlin Cimeno also featured in the pictures and posted them online
According to the Smoking Gun, Filene was sentenced to an auto theft felony in June. He reportedly has also got into trouble with authorities for loitering/prowling and failing to register an automobile.
When the images appeared online they immediately elicited an angry response from commenters, with many describing the images as offensive and insensitive.
One Twitter user wrote: 'I just saw a Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman Halloween costume. That is literally beyond disgusting. People make me so sick.' Other users defended the images as an original costume idea.

U cool Ruff. Now I understand what you r saying. I read it wrong and I am sorry for that.
@Mz Nini sorry not directed at you at all !!! Just in general you know me I don't care what they wear or do just like the a******* that laid down on the ground and posed like they were Trayvon they constantly laugh at us and we run to Barney's to spend $1300 on s*** they don't need then get mad !!! I mean really !!!!
Um correction! I do not suck no white man private! lol.
They are entitled to wear whatever they want to wear, but if the shoes was on the other feet, how do u think they would have felt? It is not offensive because of the black and white facial painting; it is offensive because of the background behind the case. An innocent child is dead because of a wanna-be patrol cop. It is just the dignity of the matter and the possible love for this victim that could have shown a positive outlook. I possibly could have seen differently if Zimmerman was found guilty, but for those who was in here in Fl, you all just heard a taste of what really took place. Riots happened, with KKK's coming into black neighborhoods with loaded guns, something the news media did not show.
Blah Blah Blah !!! and in Utah today an amardillo raised a red flag when it crossed the double white lines on N***** Blvd and cause a 2hr traffic delay in Clans man street , the PTA is upset and MADD has staged a protest in out raged the armadillo was not charged with drunken walking !!! NEXT
WE are mad at Barney's and Jay-Z cause two idiots spent $1,500 dollars and cryed to al sharpton because they were treated like niggers!!! I say personally let'em dress like who ever they f****** want!!! are we not pointing the trigger and killing ourselves any way!!!! Why get made at the white man all you doing is sucking his dick anyway!!!
ITS ALL GOOD CAUSE WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND. YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLES FEELINGS? YOU'LL GET YOURS
