Renisha McBride, 19, went looking for help in the middle of the night after she got into a car accident last weekend, but was shot dead after ringing the doorbell at a nearby home.
When Renisha McBride, 19, crashed her car in the middle of the night in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn Heights, her phone was dead, her family says. So she went to the nearest home in and knocked on the door.
It was the last thing she did.
The person who answered the door shot McBride in the head, The Detroit News reported. Police confirmed that she died moments later on the suspect’s front porch. The wound was to the back of the head, leading investigators to believe she was leaving the porch when the shot was fired.
McBride’s aunt Bernita Spinks believes it was a case of racial profiling.
“He shot her in the head … for what? For knocking on his door… If he felt scared or threatened, he should have called 911.” Spinks said on Tuesday.
“You see a young black lady on your porch and you shoot? He killed my niece and he needs to pay for it. He needs to be in jail.”
This is horrible, I hope the **** that shot her rots in prison for the rest of their days. Americans need better gun control ffs how many tragedies will it take.
I KNEW she would be black. Wow. This is getting out of hand. Are we allowed to just shoot any black person we see now? People are so ****ing stupid. I hope he gets major jail time.
Just got done reading this story on another site. This story needs to be big in the media, too. I hope an arrest is made or will she be just another Trayvon Martin? so unfortunate.
so awful 
I hope that **** ends up in jail
