FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Prosecutors charged a white man with manslaughter Monday in the death of an unarmed black man whose videotaped shooting in a parking lot revived debate over Florida’s stand-your-ground law.

Michael Drejka, 47, was charged in the July 19 death of Markeis McGlockton in Clearwater.

McGlockton’s girlfriend, Britany Jacobs, who was in the couple’s car with two of their children, ages 3 years and 4 months, said Drejka confronted her for being parked in a handicapped-accessible space.

McGlockton, 28, was in the store with their 5-year-old son. Jacobs said Drejka was cursing at her. Video shows McGlockton exited the store and shoved Drejka to the ground. Seconds later, Drejka pulled a handgun and shot McGlockton as he backed away.

McGlockton family attorney Benjamin Crump, who represented the family of Trayvon Martin after the black teen’s killing by a Hispanic man in 2012, said “it’s about time’’ Drejka was arrested.

Pinellas County’s sheriff declined to charge Drejka, saying he was protected by Florida’s stand-your-ground law.
