TL;DR Summary

A Black teenager, Ralph, who was shot by an 84-year-old White homeowner after ringing the wrong doorbell in Kansas City, has received a positive prognosis but still faces a long road to recovery as his family fights for justice in his case. The shooter, Andrew Lester, faces two felony charges, for assault in the first degree and armed criminal action. Ralph's shooting fueled protests in Kansas City and spurred a "Unity Walk" in support of the teenager. The incident was one of a number of shootings in the past week involving young people being met with gunfire after apparently going to the wrong place in error.
