A Kansas City man who pleaded guilty last week to shooting a Black teenager when he mistakenly rang his doorbell in 2023 has died, according to a Clay County prosecutor.
Andrew Lester, 86, was awaiting sentencing on second-degree assault charges for the April 2023 shooting in which he shot Ralph Yarl when the 16-year-old showed up at his house believing it was where he needed to pick up his siblings. Yarl survived and has since graduated high school.
