*In Atlanta, an African-American doctor returning home from an overnight shift was reportedly blocked from entering her gated community, where she has lived for the past eight years, by a white neighbor who parked his SUV in front of her car and refused to move.
A police report indicates that Dr. Nnenna Aguocha stated she was attempting to enter her Buckhead Townhome community after just coming off an overnight shift when another property owner stopped her at the gate entrance. She said he parked his car under the gate arm and refused to move forward to let her in, despite her repeated requests.
The doctor then whipped out her phone and started to narrate what was happening.

In the video, Dr. Aguocha said the white man at first blocked the way and said he would only allow her to pass once she proved her residence there. He then got out of the car, accused the doctor of trespassing and also threatened to call the police.
“He got out of the car and threatened to call the police on me because I was trespassing,” she said in the video recording taken at the scene. “This is racial profiling at its finest.”
The man followed through on his threat to call police, and Dr. Aguocha also called the police, to defend herself.
The man at last moved his vehicle after police arrived at the scene. Aguocha then proved that she lived in the complex by entering her gate entry code.
The man said he blocked the woman’s way because there had been a lot of air conditioner thefts in the complex lately. However, other homeowners denied the claim.

11Alive’s Natisha Lance spoke to Dr. Aguocha Wednesday about the June 18 incident. She said she was infuriated and recorded the video because she didn’t think anyone would believe her if she said someone used their car to block for getting home.
“I absolutely think it was racially motivated,” Dr. Aguocha explained. “When this altercation was going on, what went through my mind was this guy could do absolutely anything to me. He could shoot me dead on the spot because he was trying to protect the neighborhood and the property and people would make up stories later.”
Dr. Agoucha said the man told the officer he owned property in the community, but he resides in Roswell.
No charges were filed in the incident, but she told 11Alive she believes the man should face some sort of consequences and is now considering taking legal action against him.
