>> the first video of florida neighborhood watch volunteer george zimmerman is coming under sharp public scrutiny over whether it supports his confrontation with trayvon martin. nbc's ron allen reports from sanford , florida.
>> some 40 minutes after george zimmerman claimed he killed trayvon martin in self defense , surveillance video shows police bringing him in for questions. after what zimmerman 's attorney has called a life and death struggle with the unarmed teen that left zimmerman beaten and bloodied. those demanding an arrest insist the tape refutes his claims.
>> anyone can see with their eyes in this video that evidence isn't there to support a self defense claim.
>> it's a very grainy video. i do however, if you watch, you'll see one of the officers as he's walking in, looking at something on the back of his head.
>> jim is a former washington, d.c. homicide detective and paramedic who consults in criminal cases.
>> we don't want to rush into a judgment on either side. just because you don't see something in this poor video doesn't mean it's not there. we have other ways of verifying these facts. besides just the video right there.
>> the police report said zimmerman was bleeding from the noise and the back of the head, and received first aid in the police car , and zimmerman 's father told a fox tv station his son told him there was a scuffle on the ground.
>> george was trying to get his head off the concrete. in doing so, his firearm was shown. trayvon martin said something to the effect of, you're going to die now or you're going to die tonight.
>> today, the funeral director who prepared martin's body for burial gave this assessment.
>> i saw the evidence of the gunshot wound in the upper chest . i did not see any signs like he had been in a scuffle or fist fight.
>> justice be served.
>> sheryl brown lives about 30 yards from where martin was killed. her son called 911. brown says the lead investigator told her he wanted to arrest zimmerman .
>> i think his words were, we do not believe it was self defense , and that they needed to prove it.
>> now the six minutes of video are fueling the growing debate about what happened. we should point out that sanford police only made the tapes available because of a freedom of information request by nbc news and other journalists. police and prosecutors refuse to comment on the tapes, and while the investigation continues, there is no arrest warrant for george zimmerman . lester.
>> ron allen tonight in sanford ,
