The teenager was shot by Andrew Lester on April 13 in Kansas City, in an incident that sparked another national conversation of use of force against Black Americans
A judge on Wednesday ordered a white man to stand trial and face charges that he shot a Black teenager who rang his doorbell after coming to the wrong address.
The teen testified in Wednesday's preliminary hearing to determine if there was enough evidence to allow the case to proceed to trial. The shooting sparked another national conversation on use of force, by police and citizens, on Black Americans. Yarl’s mom had asked him to go to an address in Kansas City’s Nashua neighborhood, a little more than 15 miles north of downtown. But the teen went to the same house number on a “street” instead of a “terrace,” just one block over.
