Zimmerman didn't return to his truck. That was parked on Twin Tree's, the event took place behind the building. For Zimmerman to have returned to his truck and been ambushed by Martin, then Martin would have had to drag Zimmerman back behind the building were the fight progressed and then Zimmerman shot Martin.
Makes no sense.

Since two people here think you have carried the work as it was posted let's see what you have got.
Zimmerman WAS returning back to his truck that he left on twin tree, too meet with the police when they arrived,
There is no independent confirmation that Zimmerman had returned to his truck or that he was returning to his truck. During the dispatcher call, the police dispatcher told Zimmerman he did not need to follow Martin. Zimmerman said "OK", he acknowledged what the dispatcher told him but there is nothing to show that Zimmerman started to proceed back to his truck.
The dispatcher and Zimmerman were arranging for Zimmerman to meet the police at the mailbox, however during the dispatcher call Zimmerman canceled that idea and instead arranged with the dispacther for the police to call Zimmerman on his cell phone so he could tell them where to meet him or he could meet them. That would be arranged when the police called.
He **MAY** have, he **MAY NOT** - that is an unknown.
Now why would he shoot anyone unless he was attacked?
Zimmerman may have been pumped up on adrenalin. He could have felt he was in command of the situation and grabbed Martin (which would be assault (Florida Statute 784.011) on Zimmerman's part) and under Florida Statute 776.012 (Use of force in defense of person) Martin would be the Victim and Zimmerman would be the aggressor. As such Martin was authorized the use of self defense in defense of his own person.
Under this scenario, Zimmerman started the fight, but Martin got a good punch in (making Zimmerman's nose bleed and knocking him down resulting in an injury to the back of the head). Zimmerman continues to wrestle with Martin during the time that someone is calling for help. Zimmerman's family ID's the voice as Zimmerman's, Martin's family ID's the voice as Martins, some witnesses say it was Zimmerman's, some witnesses say it was Martins, and Technical audio experts say they have eliminated Zimmerman as the source. So who was actually calling for help at that point is really unknown. We can assume that the audio samples have been sent to Florida Crime Lab's or the FBI for definitive analysis and more will come out in court.
Of course Martin may have been the aggressor, there is no corroborating evidence one way or the other as to who initiated hostilities. The ONLY testimony available prior to the fight was the audio testimony from the girlfriend and her account of the exchange between Zimmerman and Martin differs from the Zimmerman's account that has been made public through the family. However, in support of the girlfriends account there are definative phone records showing the inbound call to Martin's cell phone and the duration of the call which backs up her claim of being in communications with Martin. Zimmerman called the dispatcher at 19:11, listen to the tape and you will hear that 1 minute 5 seconds in the tape Zimmerman makes the "waistband" comment. The girlfriend called at 19:12, the same time Zimmerman is making the "waistband" comment. The likelihood is then was that Martin was NOT making a threatening gesture, he was reaching into his pants pocket or his hoodie pocket to get his phone (most young people don't wear belt cell phone holsters because they are not "cool", although if Martin was wearing one it would have been taken along with Martins clothes as evidence.)
The girlfriends call when compared to Zimmerman's statements at the police station that night, I predict, will be an important piece of evidence. We have absolute proof that Martin was on the phone for about 4 minutes (I don't remember the exact amount of time - greater than 3 & less than 5). If Zimmerman never mentioned the fact that Martin was talking on a cell phone during police questioning that will look bad for him. Remember during questioning he may not have known there was an audio witness. It makes no sense for Martin to be ambushing someone while carrying on a phone conversation.
