An arrest warrant was issued early Monday evening for the man accused of shooting Ralph Yarl, a Black 16-year-old who rang the doorbell to a home where he believed he was to pick up his two siblings.
Tensions in Kansas City have continued to rise in recent days. Over the weekendgathered in front of the home of the alleged gunman for a demonstration, many periodically chanting,"Stand up, fight back!"
“Circumstances of violent crime vary depending on innumerable variables,” KCPD spokesman Corey Carlisle said in an email. “The police department doesn’t file charges, that is up to the county prosecutor to determine charges in felony violent crime cases.”Officers arrived at Lester’s home on April 13 just before 10 pm after receiving a report that shots had been fired. When they arrived, they said, they found Ralph, who had been shot twice, and he was transported to a local hospital.
