The parents of a 19-year-old Renisha McBride, who was shot in the face on the porch of a suburban Detroit home say they find it hard to believe their daughter posed a threat to the man charged in her death.

Walter Ray Simmons and Monica McBride spoke publicly Friday after Theodore Wafer was charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter. They told the crowd:

“I can’t imagine what that man feared from her. I would like to know why,”

While family members  say Renisha must have went to Wafer’s door seeking help, his lawyer, Mack Carpenter, said the pre-dawn hour and McBride’s condition — a toxicology report found she had alcohol and marijuana in her system — contribute to his client’s “very strong defense.”

McBride’s parents are relieved to see the wheels of justice turning but can’t accept any claim to self-defense. Her father, Walter Ray Simmons said:

“I couldn’t accept no apology because my daughter don’t breathe no more.  I believe this man took my daughter’s life for no reason. We just want justice done.”

Our prayers are with the McBride family as we hope they get more answer’s to what happened that tragic night.
