The authorities said that the 84 -year -old white man was accused of shooting a fierce black teenager in Kansas City, who turned into himself on Tuesday and was later released on bail.
Andrew Leicester, who faces two crime charges – the first -class attack and armed criminal procedures – will be called in the shooting of Ralph Yarle on April 13, on Wednesday afternoon, according to Yarle Lee Merrit family. CNN has reached the prosecutor to confirm the information.
Leicester He handed himself in a detention center On Tuesday, hours were released on bail. The conditions of his bond of $ 200,000 prevent him from having any kind of weapons and cannot have direct or indirect contact with Yarle or his family, according to a spokeswoman for the Clay Sharif County Office.
Ralph, 16, was shot at the head and arm after he went to the wrong address to capture his brothers. His family said he was released from a hospital, but he was facing a hard way to recover.
Leicester told the police that he and the teenager did not exchange words before he fired with a closed glass door.
CNN could not reach the home owner. CNN has not yet determined whether Leicester has a lawyer.
The criminal charges have brought some comfort to the Ralph family – but the long roads are waiting for us, with Ralph’s recovery and the pursuit of justice.
“It is not like that simply like the heart of the page,” said Sponmmour. “It is a little better that – we hope – will get a portion of what it deserves.”
But the questions remain about the reason for Leicester at the beginning, but it was released a few hours after the shooting on April 13.
“I share anger and attention to many in asking about the reason,” the mayor of Kansas City City Quinton Lucas told CNN.
“In Missouri, you can get a 24 -hour contract. It is clear here that this was two or three hours, as they asked the suspect. He was able to return home in that evening.”
Leicester told the police that he fired immediately after responding to the doorbell when he saw Ralph pulled on the outer door handle, according to the possible causes document that CNN obtained.
Leicester believed that Ralph was trying to storm the house and was “afraid to death” because of the boy’s size, according to the document.
The officers responded before 10 pm on that night, immediately after receiving reports of shooting. When they arrived, Ralph found a wound on the street.
Ralph’s shooting, who plays the role of Clarinet Pass and a group leader, left with gunshots in his head and arm. While he was transferred to the hospital, Ralph told the police that he had not pulled the door, according to the document.
“Nothing is less than a miracle,” said his lawyer Ben Krumb on Monday. But “he has not yet left the forest.”
The shooting of protests was closed in Kansas City and moved the memories of Tripoli Martin and Atmudrriri-Black Black Males who were shot dead by men who later invited self-defense.
The demonstrators walked through Kansas City Hadid, “Justice for Ralph”, and called for the arrest of the shooter.
The shooting also came days before a 20 -year -old woman was killed and killed in New York State after she and three others have accidentally turned into a wrong corridor.
While Ralph’s lawyers say that the teenager has not pose any threat to fire, it is still unclear whether the “parking” law will be mentioned in Missouri in the defense case against Leicester.
The laws of “standing on your land” allow them to respond to threats or strength without fear of criminal prosecution anywhere a person has the right.
Ralph’s aunt stabbed the idea that the “size” of her nephew could be a threat.
“I really don’t understand how.” “I doubt that Ralph is up to 170 pounds. Ralph is not up to 6 feet (tall).”
She said she is on a mission to help achieve justice for her nephew.
“I want justice to look the same in all fields,” said Sponmmour. “I want justice to look similar.”
The mayor said he believed that Ralph was racist by the shooter.
“This boy was shot because he was present while he was black,” Lucas said.
“There was an ethnic element in this case,” said prosecutor at Clay Zakari Tombson Provents, but he did not explain.
On the shooting night, Leicester was detained and released less than two hours later, and two representatives of the Kansas City police department had previously said to the CNN.
Tomson said Leicester was released because the police realized that more investigation should be done.
Lawyer Krumb asked why Leicester was arrested for a longer period.
“Nobody can tell us if the roles were reversed, and you have a black man shooting a 16 -year -old white teenager just because he was ringing for him to be seen that he will not be arrested. I mean that this citizen went home and slept in his bed at night after shooting this little black child in the head.”
The teenager said: “I just rang the door bell. This was the case.” “The owner of the house shoots the fire through the door, hit him in the head, then shoots it again.”
The mayor said that he did not even know the details of the case until several days after the shooting. While it is believed that the race played a role in the shooting, he confessed to work by the police – including white officers – who helped prosecutors filed against Leicester.
“We had white officers and officers for what they deserved, and those who did a lot of hard work to obtain this case file to the public prosecutor who was directed shortly after that,” Lucas said.
“However, pretending that the race is not part of this entire situation is that your head is in the sand.”
Before the shooting, Leicester was lying in bed when he heard the door bell ring and captured a 32 -caliber pistol, according to a possible statement.
Then he went to the entrance to his front house, which includes an inner door and an outdoor door – both of whom were closed.
Leicester said to the police:
“He stated that he believed that someone was trying to storm the house, and fired twice in a few seconds of opening the door,” says the possible reason.
“He thought he was protecting himself from a physical confrontation and was unable to seize the opportunity of the coming from the male,” says the document.
Leicester said he immediately called 911 after the shooting, according to the document.
The police spoke with Ralph while he was treating in the hospital, where he told them that his mother asked him to pick up his brothers on 1100 Street 115 Street, according to the document, which indicates that the actual address in which they were residing was 1100 balcony 115.
When he arrived at home on Street 115, Ralph said that he rang the door bell and waited for some time before the man eventually opened the door and immediately shot in his head, causing him to fall.
Ralph told the police that the teenager was still on the floor, then the man shot again, and shot him in the arm.
Ralph said that he got up and ran from where he shot, and the man heard: “Do not come here,” the document says. Then he went to many homes adjacent to seek help and ask people to contact the police.
The boy told the police that he had not pulled the door, according to the potential cause document.
The officers of the response to the front storm door were also found in Leicester’s broken house, with blood on the front balcony and the corridor, according to the document.
The teenager had to run to 3 different houses before someone finally agreed to help him after he was asked to lie on the ground and his hands. Gofundment The page started by Ralph’s countries.
One of the neighbors, who asked not to get to know, told CNN that she contacted the number 911 after Ralph came to her door, bleeding.
Since the shooter was not known at the time, she was directed to stay inside her home by the emergency operator for her safety. She said that she initially complied, then she went out with towels to help suppress bleeding.
“This is a person’s child. I had to clean the blood from my door, outside of an iron. That was the blood of a person.” “I am my mother … this is not fine.”
“You cannot profit and shoot our children”
Krumb said that Ralph was still shocked by this ordeal, but the family hopes to completely recover because Ralph is a young and strong.
“He and his family are only happy because he is alive after he was shot in his head.”
Meret said on Tuesday that the first bullet traveled less than five feet to the Yarl Al -Alawi Temple and penetrated its skull.
“They made shrapnel from the frontal lobe on Thursday. On Saturday, he was playing with his dog,” Meret said.
He said that God was telling society and his leaders that they could not continue in the usual work.
“This was in fact a miracle. What is supposed to learn from that miracle, is the question we need to answer.”
Ralph, the department leader in a marching group often found with a tool at hand, was looking to graduate from high school and visit West Africa before the college start, according to Gofundment page.
“Life looks very different at the present time. Although it works well physically, it has a long -standing path mentally and emotionally. The shock he has to tolerate and survive is unimaginable.”
The GOFUNDME page, helping the family designed at the medical expenses, got more than two million dollars in donations by Monday night.
Krumb likened Ralph fire to the 17 -year -old Martin in Florida and Erberi, 25, in Georgia.
“We are still fighting to say that you cannot shoot our children, just because you have this” stand “in your law.” “unacceptable.”
Meret CNN told Monday that your “standing” procedure would not apply to the Ralph case.
Merritt said: “Your terrestrial position, according to Missouri laws, is completely not implemented on this issue, because there was no conversation, not from the suspect, and not from the victim and not from the application of the law. Ralph Yarle, 16, is a threat to this shooter.”
Chat head with teenagers and mother
A White House official told CNN that President Joe Biden spoke with Ralph and his mother, Cleo Najbi, by phone on Monday evening, a White House official told CNN.
Biden also pointed out how Ralph “lucky” is that his mother is not just a nurse, but she is also a physiotherapy.
The conversation also covered their families, their love for music and Ralph’s dream of pursuing the degree of chemical engineering at the University of Texas A and M – which was “tried to convince him that he was (the president of Dilayer,”.
The official said: “The president also committed to keep pace with his battle against armed violence,” the official said.
