An unarmed Detroit woman shot dead on the front porch of a Dearborn Heights home was drunk when she knocked on the door at 3:40 a.m. on Nov. 2, according to newly released toxicology reports.
The findings come one day before Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy is expected to announce charges against the 54-year-old homeowner, who said his 12-gauge shotgun accidentally went off when he mistook 19-year-old Renisha McBride for an intruder.
It’s unclear if McBride’s blood-alcohol level of .218% will change anything about the case.
Police said McBride hit a parked car in Detroit shortly before 1 a.m. and walked off. Neighbors called 911 several times but McBride was nowhere to be found when police showed up.

It’s unclear what happened to McBride between 1 a.m. and 3:40 p.m. She was shot six blocks from where she crashed.
An autopsy report released Monday showed that McBride was not shot at close range, which makes a case for self-defense much more difficult.
