Police say a homeowner shot 16-year-old Ralph Paul Yarl twice in the head and arm after the Black teenager rang the doorbell of the wrong home. The family's attorneys criticized police for releasing the shooter, who they described as a white man.

Authorities in Kansas City, Missouri, said detectives are "thoroughly" investigating after police said a homeowner shot a Black teenager on Thursday after the 16-year-old rang the doorbell of the wrong home.

Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said during a press conference Sunday the alleged suspect was taken into custody after the incident and held for 24 hours, the maximum amount of time a person can be held for a felony before they have to be charged or released, according to Missouri state law. Graves said a firearm was recovered from the scene and taken as evidence. Officials have not identified the alleged suspect.
