"Groups seek justice in Mich. killing" Associated Press, November 09, 2013
DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. — Protesters and civil rights groups are calling for justice after a suburban Detroit homeowner fatally shot a 19-year-old woman on his porch.
No charges have been filed after authorities said Renisha McBride, of Detroit, was killed by a shotgun blast to the face early last Saturday in Dearborn Heights. A man told investigators that he thought someone was trying to break into his home and accidentally discharged the gun, according to police.
McBride’s family said she probably approached the home to seek help after getting into a car accident nearby.
“She was shot in the front of the face, near the mouth,” police Lieutenant James Serwatowski told the Detroit Free Press.

"Homeowner charged in Detroit-area porch shooting" by Corey Williams | Associated Press, November 16, 2013
DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. — A suburban Detroit homeowner was charged Friday with second-degree murder in the death of a 19-year-old woman who was shot in the face while on his front porch nearly two weeks ago.
Theodore P. Wafer, 54, of Dearborn Heights, also faces a manslaughter charge in the death of Renisha McBride, who was killed on Nov. 2, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said.
Police say McBride was shot a couple of hours after being involved in a nearby car accident. Family members say she likely approached Wafer’s home for help.
The shooting has drawn attention from civil rights groups that called for an investigation and believe race was a factor in the shooting — McBride was black; prosecutors said Wafer is white. Some have drawn comparisons between this case and that of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen shot in 2012....
Oh, WOW! The damn jewsmedia trying to enflame racial tensions again, cui bono?

Which shows you those groups are all controlled-opposition agenda-pushers. They are silent on the slaughter of young black men across this country every night and day by AmeriKa's security services -- otherwise known as police.
And btw, it is not just minorities. It's also poor white across the rural south and west that get shot for no reason other than sheer state oppression.
In a 911 call from Wafer at 4:42 a.m., he tells the dispatcher: ‘‘I just shot somebody on my front porch with a shotgun, banging on my door.’’ They found McBride’s body on the porch. Evidence shows that McBride knocked on the locked door, Worthy said, and there was no forced entry.
Under a 2006 Michigan self-defense law, a homeowner has the right to use force during a break-in. Otherwise, a person must show that his or her life was in danger.
I'm going to feel that way if someone comes knocking on my door unexpectedly and late at night.
