Prosecutors are seeking more information from police before deciding whether to charge a man who fatally shot a black woman on the porch of a Detroit home in a predominately white neighborhood, sparking accusations of racial profiling.

Renisha McBride, 19, was killed by a shotgun blast in Dearborn Heights early Saturday.

Her family says she likely approached the home, in the predominantly white neighborhood of Dearborn Heights, to seek help after getting into a car accident. The case is reminiscent of the September death of a young, black man in North Carolina who was shot 10 times by police after he sought help after getting into a car accident. The officer involved in that shooting was charged with voluntary manslaughter.

Dearborn Heights police said the shooter told investigators that his shotgun accidently discharged, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Police say they’ve identified the person who shot McBride and requested a warrant in the case. The Wayne County prosecutor’s office said it sent the request back to police Wednesday for additional investigation before making a charging decision.

McBride’s aunt Bernita Spinks, who is acting as family spokeswoman, said the family believes the shooting was racially motivated and wants justice.

“Why didn’t he call 911? That’s what I want to know. ... It’s racial profiling,” Spinks told the Detroit Free Press.

A graduate of Southfield High School, McBride was described by those who knew her as a friendly person who worked hard. She recently got a job at the Ford Rouge plant in Dearborn on the inspection line, the Detroit Free Press reported.

“She was sweet,” Spinks told the newspaper. “She didn’t get into trouble.”

A rally in support of McBride’s family took place Thursday evening outside the Dearborn Heights Police Department.

Dream Hampton, an author and human rights activist from Detroit who attended the rally, said she was “outraged that a 19-year-old girl was shot in the face and no one is in custody.”

Hampton said that’s what the rally is about – letting the police department know they are angry that an arrest has not been made.

“This is a rally for justice, and to stand with her family,” Hampton said. The Dearborn Heights Police Department declined to comment Thursday.
