The homeowner who shot Renisha McBride will be
facing charges:
A homeowner will be charged with second-degree murder in the shooting of an unarmed woman on a suburban Detroit porch earlier this month.
Renisha McBride, 19, was killed on Nov. 2 in Dearborn Heights, Mich., when she went to a man's house seeking help after a car crash, according to police.
Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy announced three charges against the homeowner -- 54-year-old Theodore Hall Wafer -- on Friday, the most serious of which was murder in the second degree.
Additional details from prosecutors:
Worthy, surrounded by assistant prosecutors, Dearborn Heights police and other officials, identified the homeowner as Theodore Paul Wafer.
"He did not act in lawful self-defense," Worthy said. "There is no evidence of forced entry."
Wafer is scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon.
McBride, 19, was shot in the face with a 12-gauge shotgun Nov. 2 by Wafer, 54, who told police he believed someone was breaking into his home. She was unarmed.
Worthy said the shot traveled through a locked screen door.
Let's hope there will be justice for Renisha and her family.
