Zimmerman didn't do anything illegal leading up to the shooting but many of his actions leading up the shooting were provocative, provocative enough for Martin to confront him in the first place. A grown man carrying a gun following a teenager even though police dispatch told him to back the fuck off? If that isn't provocative behaviour then I honestly don't know what is.
And let's not forget zimmerman could have quite easily diffused the situation when Martin confronted him he could have said “I work for the local neighbourhood watch I was just concerned that you might be up to no good ok? We've had a few burglaries in the area and I wasn't sure what you were doing that's all”.
I'm pretty confident Martin would have backed down.

We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
