An 84-year-old White man, Andrew Lester, has been charged with shooting the Black teenager who mistakenly showed up at his door in Kansas City, Mo. Here’s what to know about the shooting.
On Monday, Andrew Lester, an 84-year-old White man, was charged with two felonies after police say he shot Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old who went to the wrong house after being sent to pick up his younger twin brothers at a friend’s home. Lester told police he was “scared to death” when Yarl appeared at his door Thursday night, according to a criminal complaint.
Yarl was shot twice, including once in the head, but survived and is now recovering at home. Clay County Prosecuting Attorney Zachary Thompson said at a news conference Monday that there was “a racial component to the case.”
