Ralph Yarl Case: White Missouri Man, Andrew Lester, Charged With 2 Felonies In Shooting Of Black Teen

Lester allegedly shot Ralph on Thursday evening when the teen tried to pick up his siblings from a friend’s house, but went to the wrong house. Dr. Faith Spoonmore, Ralph’s aunt, wrote about the shooting on a GoFundMe page.
“He pulled into the driveway and rang the doorbell. The man in the home opened the door, looked my nephew in the eye, and shot him in the head. My nephew fell to the ground, and the man shot him again. Ralph was then able to get up and run to the neighbor’s house, looking for help,” Spoonmore wrote on a GoFundMe page. “Unfortunately, he had to run to three different homes before someone finally agreed to help him after he was told to lie on the ground with his hands up.”
