Police are investigating the shooting of a 19-year-old girl who was shot dead while standing outside the front porch of a home in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. The family of Renisha McBride say she knocked on the door to the home seeking help for a car accident after her cell phone battery died, and was met with a deadly gunshot to the head, according to The Detroit News.

“He shot her in the head … for what? For knocking on his door,” McBride’s aunt, Bernita Spinks, told the Detroit News. “If he felt scared or threatened, he should have called 911. … You see a young black lady on your porch and you shoot?”

Police would not provide details about the facts leading up to the shooting, stating in a press release only that she was “fatally shot while standing on the front porch of the home.” They say they have identified the person who shot and killed the woman, and referred the case to prosecutors.
