Hundreds of people gathered at NE 115th Street in Kansas City’s Northland to protest the shooting of a 16-year-old boy last week. As they stood in front of the house where he was shot, protestors chanted for justice and demanded prosecution of the shooter for what they called a hate crime.
The boy, who family has identified as Ralph Yarl, was on his way to pick up his twin brothers from a friend’s house and arrived at the wrong address, about a block away. According to a Go Fund Me by his aunt Faith Spoonmore, after Yarl rang the doorbell at the wrong address, the homeowner shot him in the head through a glass door and again after he fell to the ground.
Yarl is in the hospital in critical condition, but alive, according to the family. The homeowner is currently free. They have not yet been charged with a crime.
