Once Again, a Black Person Is Shot and Killed While Looking for Help

NEW DETAILS ARE EMERGING.

The autopsy report shows that McBride was shot in her face, not in the back of her head. 

She was going door to door seeking help after a car wreck and her cellphone died. 

It was officially ruled a homicide, but her killer, a 54-year old male, hasn’t been arrested. Oh, also, his name isn’t being released because no charges have fucking been filed. According to police the shooter told them that the gun “accidentally discharged” and he believed McBride was “breaking into his house.”

Which is fucking horse shit because she was only 5’4” and fucking unarmed.

Also, he himself called 911 to report the shooting, but then immediately hung up and didn’t answer when dispatchers tried to call him back.

People are trying to make a deal about her blood alcohol content, which found to be .218 at the time of her death, so just expect a gigantic headache when you do your research. I strongly recommend just not reading the comments altogether.

McBride’s funeral was on November 8th.

The Wayne County prosecutor has called a press conference, to be held tomorrow (November 15) at 11 am. She says she will be making an announcement regarding the case.

May she rest in peace, and may justice be done.

:(((((!!!!

I’ve seen like two articles that had her blood alcohol level as their headline and some saying she had marijuana in her system, is it supposed to be some sort of justification for shooting her in the face? Or is it trying to paint her as a bad person?

Every time a minority youth is murdered, yes murdered, the media tries to justify the crime. They try and say they looked suspicious or they were inebriated or something. They try to bring up “past crimes” of the victim, to somehow say they deserved it. No one deserves this. She was in danger. There was a serious accident and so she looked for help. If it was a white, five-foot-four, unarmed teenager, do you think she would be dead?

I actually feel kinda sad for you less advantaged folk being critical of the upper class. … The loss of a yacht might not be huge to you, but it still belongs to someone and maybe it’s something that they value–we have feelings you know.

I was at work today and this blonde kid in a polo shirt came up to me and in perfectly fluent English;

“Quesadilla.”
