Black shot in the head in America for Ringing the wrong bell to pick his junior siblings

 

"Despite the severity of his injuries and the seriousness of his condition, Ralph is alive and recovering," the attorneys said in the statement. 

The homeowner, who has not been identified, was taken into custody and placed on a 24-hour hold, then released pending further investigation due to the need to obtain a formal statement from the victim and to gather additional forensic evidence, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said in a news conference Sunday. 

The shooting fueled a demonstration in Kansas City on Sunday, April 16, with protesters gathering outside the home where Yarl was shot. 

Protesters marched as they chanted, "justice for Ralph" and "Black lives matter," and carried signs reading, "Ringing a doorbell is not a crime". 

"We demand swift action from Clay County prosecutors and law enforcement to identify, arrest and prosecute to the full extent of the law the man responsible for this horrendous and unjustifiable shooting," the statement from the victim's attorneys read. 

Celebrities have also taken to Instagram to demand justice for the teen.
