The sh0oting of a black teenager by a white homeowner in Kansas City, Missouri, has sparked outrage and calls for justice.
Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old high school junior, was shot in the head after mistakenly going to the wrong home to pick up his siblings on April 13.
Yarl’s parents had asked him to pick up his siblings at an address on 115th Terrace, but he accidentally went to a home on 115th Street, where he was shot by the homeowner. Yarl is currently in stable condition at a local hospital.

Civil rights attorneys S. Lee Merritt and Benjamin Crump, who have been retained by Yarl’s family, released a joint statement calling for swift action from Clay County prosecutors and law enforcement to identify, arrest, and prosecute the man responsible for the shooting.
The homeowner, who has not been identified, was taken into custody but released pending further investigation.
This decision has been met with criticism from the community and activists, who are calling for justice for Yarl.

Protesters gathered outside the home where Yarl was shot, demanding justice and chanting “Black lives matter.”
Celebrities have also taken to social media to demand justice for the teen.
The shooting of Yarl is yet another tragic example of the violence and discrimination that black Americans continue to face in their daily lives.
It is crucial that those responsible for this senseless act of violence are held accountable for their actions.
