Ralph Yarl’s classmates gathered for a unity walk Tuesday, April 18, to show their support for the Black 16-year-old, who was just released from the hospital after being shot twice by a white man last week.
Also on Tuesday, the man accused of shooting Yarl, 84-year-old Andrew Lester, turned himself into authorities one day after being charged with armed assault. While Lester was taken into custody after the shooting last week, he was ultimately released, pending further investigation.
Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves acknowledged the “racial component to this case” at a press conference on Sunday, though declined to elaborate. The charging documents issued against Lester do not allege that the shooting was racially motivated.
