Elderly White Man Charged for Shooting Black Teen at Wrong House in Kansas City

An 84-year-old white man in Kansas City has been charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action for shooting a Black teenager who mistakenly went to his house to pick up his younger twin brothers. The prosecutor said there was a racial component to the case, but hate crime charges were not filed. The teen was recovering at home, and the suspect was not in custody as of Monday evening. Protests have erupted, and the family's lawyer demanded the homeowner be charged with attempted murder. Missouri has a "stand-your-ground law" that allows homeowners to use physical force to defend themselves against suspected intruders.
