Teen Shot By Homeowner After Going To Wrong House To Pick Up Younger Siblings

Graves said Sunday that the homeowner who allegedly shot the teen was taken into custody Thursday and placed on a 24-hour hold. While searching the scene for evidence, detectives found the firearm allegedly used. Law enforcement released the suspect pending further investigation after consulting with the Clay County Prosecutor’s Office.

Mayor Quinton Lucas, who attended the news conference, said the police department understands the community’s concern that the shooting could be racially motivated. He said some members of the police department attended Sunday’s protest in the neighborhood where the shooting took place to listen to community members’ concerns.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump told The Star on Sunday that his Florida-based law firm has been retained by the teen’s family. Crump has represented the families in several high-profile cases including Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, as well as Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.He said the homeowner initially shot the teen in the head and then a second time after the boy fell to the ground. The family also has retained Lee Merritt, a Texas-based civil rights attorney who has previously represented the family of Cameron Lamb, who was fatally shot by KCPD detective Eric DeValkenaere in 2019.

No justification 4 shooting some1 4 knocking on your door. This racist saw a black kid & just shot him point blank. His life wasn’t in danger. Even If it was he didn’t have 2 open his door. He opened it 4 the sole purpose 2 kill a black kid. This is a hate crime plain & simple.

'A man opened the door, saw Yarl and shot him in the head. When Yarl fell to the ground, the man shot him again. Yarl got up and ran from the property, but he had to ask at three different homes before someone helped him, Spoonmore said.' Smfh

Deeep sigh! A country that can be so good, can be so bad too alas. Racial animus - America's original and besetting sin 😢

We don’t have all the facts but if I think someone is breaking into my home and am in fear, (especially if at night) I may shoot them as well. I believe Kansas is a stand your ground state.

I hope he recovere..but the thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of attacks on innocent people by BLACK CRIMINALS ..created this atmosphere..

I’ve got some racial dynamics for you

Well, it's Ben Crump and that's his bread and butter, js.

“Shot in the head” isn’t the alleged part.

With all the reckless violence by young black people that goes unchecked I can understand how this happened...although it is tragic, it is a direct repercussion of the liberal stance on rioting, looting and violence. They have fueled racism to a dangerous level.

He did not only shoot this boy twice but was let go and went back to his house to clean up the scene.

Given there is no suspect info how do they know the shooter is white? Several months ago in dc a homeowner shot someone he thought was breaking into cars. People said he was a white federal employee, but he was a black city employee then the story vanished
