The home owner has been identified as Theodore Wafer, 54, and he faces charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Renisha McBride, who died of a gunshot wound to her face.
Theodore P. Wafer, 54, of Dearborn Heights, also faces a manslaughter charge in the death of Renisha McBride in the early-morning hours of Nov. 2, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said. McBride was shot in the face after police say they believe she was involved in a car accident nearby in Detroit and family members say she likely approached Wafer’s home for help.
Civil rights groups have called for a thorough investigation, saying they believe race was a factor in the shooting of McBride who was black, Wafer is white. Prosecutors insisted that race was not relevant.
“In this case, the charging decision has absolutely nothing to do with the race of the parties,” Worthy said Friday.
Evidence showed McBride knocked on the locked screen door, Worthy said, and that there was no sign of forced entry.
“These are the appropriate charges and he did not act in lawful self-defense,” Worthy said.
Wafer is not in custody and that prosecutors will ask him to turn himself in, Worthy said. An arraignment is scheduled for 2 p.m. The Associated Press tried to leave a message for Wafer’s attorney, Cheryl Carpenter, but her voicemail was full.

This man should be charged with murder. If he was in fear of his life….don’t open the door….call the police….but this individual had a gun….and felt he could take care of the problem, himself. There was no danger, as long as the door was closed…this is a very sad story. 😦

If he was scared, why open the door at all? I would think he would yell through the door and tell the person to go away, not open the door and shoot them.

I actually do think that he’ll be convicted, likely of manslaughter. IMO Zimmerman is a racist sociopath. I suspect that this guy Wafer was drunk/high that night and would take his actions back if he could (not that this is an excuse or much comfort to her family). RIP Renisha; 😦 terrible tragedy this is.

I believe that the jury will find him guilty, but I believe they’ll go light on the sentencing. I believe the bastard will serve 0-2 years the most. she was a young black girl they don’t care.

Zimmerman is a stone cold racist and sociopath who killed a kid screaming for his life in a premeditated, cold-blooded fashion. He then proceeded to race bait his way into hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from other racists, dancing on that child’s grave and torturing his parents.

From what has been put out there as of now, there is NO justification for firing a weapon at this woman. I don’t know that there could ever be any justification, I can’t think of one in this case. That being said, there are people who knock, you open the door and they bum rush you. Or nobody answers and they proceed to rob an unoccupied house.
Bottom line, if someone knocks at your door and you are scared for any reason, call the fucking police and let them handle it. Don’t just shoot without reason.

not blaming the victim but if you’re gonna drink,drink responsibly and the people she was with if she was with anyone at all, should’ve never allowed her behind the wheel of her car and they should’ve made sure she got home safely.
