An 84-year-old white man charged in the shooting and wounding of a black teenager who mistakenly walked up to the man’s house in Kansas City surrendered to police, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office said on Tuesday, but was freed on bond within a few hours.
Andrew Lester had been charged a day earlier with first-degree assault, which could bring a sentence of life in prison, for shooting Ralph Yarl, 16, on the doorstep of his suburban home around 10 p.m. last Thursday.
