The 85-year-old White homeowner accused of shooting a Black teenager who rang the wrong doorbell pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action. The Kansas City homeowner garnered national attention after the April 13 shooting of Ralph Yarl. Ralph, 16, was trying to pick up his younger siblings on April 13 when he went to the wrong address – 1100 NE 115th Street instead of 1100 NE 115th Terrace. After ringing Lester’s doorbell, Ralph was shot in the head and arm. The teen survived but faces an arduous recovery, his family has said.
