<h2>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trayvon_Martin">Trayvon Martin</a> Coverage and Departure from MSNBC</h2>

<p>The turning point in Luciano's career came in 2012 while covering the shooting of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trayvon_Martin">Trayvon Martin</a> in Sanford, Florida. A segment aired by NBC included edited audio of <a href="/biography/george-zimmerman">George Zimmerman</a>'s 911 call, leading to significant public criticism. The editing made it appear that <a href="/biography/george-zimmerman">Zimmerman</a> had made racially charged comments, although those statements were not connected in the original call. </p>

<p>Following internal review, NBC News <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Capus">President</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Capus">Steve Capus</a> described the incident as a mistake and stated there was no evidence that it was intentional.
