‘Buckets of tears’: mother of Black teen shot after going to wrong address speaks

Cleo Nagbe says son Ralph Yarl has been mentally replaying shooting ‘over and over’ after last week’s attack by white man

The mother of Ralph Yarl, a Black teenager who was shot by a white man after ringing the man’s doorbell, says that her son has been mentally replaying the shooting “over and over”.

Cleo Nagbe says that her son is still facing physical challenges from last week’s attack, when Andrew Lester, a white Kansas City resident, shot Yarl twice, once in the head and once in the arm, after the 16-year-old went to a mistaken address to pick up his siblings.
