A Missouri man has died weeks before his sentencing for shooting a 16-year-old boy who accidentally went to the wrong address.
86 year old Andrew Lester pled guilty last week to second-degree assault after opening fire on Ralph Yarl in Kansas City on April 13th 2023.
Yarl rang Lester’s doorbell while going to pick up his younger brothers. Lester shot him twice – once in the forehead and once in the arm. He survived and has since graduated from high school.
Lester was scheduled for sentencing on March 7th and was facing seven years in prison.
In a statement, the Yarl family expressed frustration that “justice was never truly served”.
