Ralph Yarl's aunt on his recovery: He's loving the love he's getting from everyone - The ReidOut MSNBC
Black teen, 16-year-old Ralph Yarl, was shot in Missouri last Thursday after ringing the doorbell at the wrong house while going to pick up his younger brothers. The alleged shooter, 84-year-old Andrew Lester, is now in police custody, facing two felony charges for assault in the first degree and armed criminal action.
The county prosecutor said there was a "racial component" to the shooting, but did not elaborate. Raph Yarl is alive and being cared for by his mother, a nurse, at home. Lawyer for the Ralph Yarl family Benjamin Crump and Dr. Faith Spoonmore, Ralph Yarl's aunt, join Joy Reid on The ReidOut on MSNBC. - Aired on 04/18/2023.
