Sometime on Saturday morning she had an accident, found out that her cell phone battery had died, decided to get out of her car and go seek help. She is now dead from a shotgun blast to the back of her head.
Police are seeking charges against a Dearborn Heights, Michigan resident for shooting and killing a 19-year-old Detroit woman who sought help at the resident’s house after a car accident early Saturday morning.http://www.detroitnews.com/...
The Dearborn Heights Police Department said - and autopsy information from the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office confirm - that Renisha McBride was shot in the head with a shotgun around 0630 GMT (2:30 am EST) Saturday by a resident of a house near the scene of a car accident after attempting to seek help at the house. Her cellphone battery had died, her family said.

Renisha's heartbroken aunt asked, "He shot her in the head ... for what? For knocking on his door? If he felt scared or threatened, he should have called 911.”
Not surprising, the young man who shot and killed Renisha is now seeking protection under Michigan's Stand Your Ground Law. He is claiming self-defense and has yet to be charged.
