A toxicology report is revealing that unarmed 19-year-old, Renisha McBridehad alcohol in her system before she was shot to death by a suburban Detroit homeowner.

According to the Associated Press:

A report released Thursday by the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office says Renisha McBride’s blood-alcohol content on Nov. 2 was about 0.22 – more than twice the legal limit for driving. She also tested positive for marijuana, but the report recommends a second test before confirming it.

McBride family attorney Gerald Thurswell says her alcohol level isn’t “relevant” to the shooting.

McBride was involved in a car accident that night and her phone died. Her family believes she approached the home seeking help.

The 54-year-old man who shot McBride in the face claims it was an accident. Police have yet to release his identity.

A news conference regarding the case is set for Friday. We’ll keep you updated on the latest.
