The house where 16-year-old Ralph Yarl was shot when he went to the wrong address to pick up his younger brothers in Kansas City , Missouri.The mother of a Black teenager who was shot after mistakenly ringing the wrong doorbell is suing the homeowners association and gunman involved in the incident.
The document states Yarl “never posed or issued a threat” to Lester, and that the association “was aware of or should have been aware of Defendant, Andrew Lester’s, propensity for violence, access to dangerous weapons and racial animus.”Yarl told police Lester shot at him once through his glass front door and again when the boy was already on the ground. Lester defended his actions by claiming he feared for his life.
