aljazeeraamerica: No charges made in Detroit shooting of unarmed black teenager 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. Read more Photo: Ricardo Thomas/AP
