A man who fatally shot a Detroit woman who crashed her car near his Dearborn Heights home has been charged in her death. Wayne County Prosecutor Kim Worth said 54-year-old Theodore Wafer has been charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of 19-year-old Renisha McBride.

Wafer had said he believed the woman was trying to break into his home about 3:40 a.m. Nov. 2.

 McBride was killed by a shotgun blast to the face, and the homeowner claimed the gun discharged accidentally.

Wafer is expected to turn himself in Friday afternoon to police.
