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.
