Ralph Yarl: Shooting suspect turns himself in

Nov 8,2022 10:11 am

A US man in Missouri has turned himself in to face charges of assault after shooting a teenager who rang his doorbell.

Andrew Lester, 84, has been charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action, prosecutors said.

Mr Lester, who is white, allegedly shot Ralph Yarl, 16, who is black, once in The Head and once in The Arm last Thursday night. The Boy survived.

A prosecutor said there was a " racial component" to The Shooting .

Mr Lester has not been charged with a Hate Crime , and charging documents do not describe the alleged racial bias.

He will remain at the Clay County Detention Center until his arraignment, or until he posts a bond, the sheriff's office told The Bbc .
