Community activists in Michigan have organized a rally Thursday evening to demand the arrest of the alleged shooter of Renisha McBride. McBride, a 19-year-old African-American woman, was reportedly shot in the back of the head on the porch of a Dearborn Heights home where she had stopped to seek help after a car accident. The rally organizers and members of McBride's family have said they believe she was racially profiled.

Organizers Dream Hampton and Yusef Shakur shared details of the rally with Jet Magazine:
