Protesters gathered in Kansas City Sunday after a homeowner shot and injured a Black teenager who family members said went to the wrong house.
Ralph Yarl, 16, was shot twice and hospitalized in critical condition Thursday, attorneys Ben Crump and S. Lee Merritt, who have been retained by Yarl's family, said in a statement Sunday.
The homeowner was placed on a 24-hour investigative hold and released pending further investigation, Kansas City police chief Stacey Graves said at a press conference Sunday.
Under Missouri law, a person must be charged or released after 24 hours, and suspects are released while police investigate further in the vast majority of cases including violent crimes.
