Crashed into a parked car, so it was extremely likely to be her own fault. Need to find out if she was driving impaired.
At 1.40am a police cruiser was dispatched to the scene, but Ms McBride was gone.
Another example of the old "when seconds count, the police are minutes away". If the cops would have showed up promptly, she might be alive. I would also assume that the homeowner that called mentioned that she was hurt. An ambulance should have been sent as well. Also, according to the article, 1:40 was when it was DISPATCHED. Why so long between the call and the dispatch?
She walked for a few blocks, before knocking on the shooter's door. She was not shot until around 4am and it is not known what she had been doing for the two-and-a-half hours before her death.
So, in the 2 1/2 hours she was walking around, she went a few blocks. The police SHOULD have been searching for her since you have an injured accident victim that is missing. Where are the cops during this time? If they actually did look for here, why didn't they find her?
I can only assume that she didn't WANT to be found by or talk to the cops, and wandering off was the first step to that end. The only other possibility was that she was disoriented from the accident. In either case, the cops should have been actively searching for her because she's either evading justice or in danger due to injury. That she only went a short distance in 2 1/2 hours before getting shot, means that either the police didn't actually look for her, or she was evading them. They had enough time to cover every street in the area multiple times. Since they should have assumed that she was missing due to injury, this would include searching on foot.
Based on what we know so far and only looking at the events from the accident up to her knocking on the that door, the police dropped the ball in not locating her, but it's likely that that was in part because she didn't want to be found.
My guess is she was high as a kite on drugs and/or alcohol and didn’t want to be found with her car.
Additionally, I can well imagine someone drugged up or drunk feeling all ‘entitled’ and getting pissed when someone doesn’t open the door for them. Worse behavior has happened for far less provocation.
