Police say that the group of 20 assailants used chairs, pipes and paint cans to waylay Owens on his own front porch. Parker added that as her brother lie on the ground bleeding, one of the assailants looked back and shouted: “Now that’s justice for Trayvon!

Which means that the reporter is saying that someone said that someone else may have said it.
"Now apparently, the sister tells us, that while one of the women was driving away, she said 'Now this is justice for Trayvon.'"
I guess this↑ part isn't relevant to you. Doesn't quite fit in with your sole intention.
"Witnesses say that the dispute that led up to this event has been escalating for years".
