An 86-year-old Kansas City man has died just days after pleading guilty to a lesser charge in the 2023 shooting of Ralph Yarl, a Black honor student who rang the white man’s doorbell by mistake, prosecutors announced Wednesday. Andrew Lester was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action in the shooting of the then-16-year-old, who survived and is now a freshman at Texas A&M.

He was scheduled to be sentenced on March 7. MORE: https://www.wthr.com/article/news/nation-world/andrew-lester-ralph-yarl-shooting-dies-after-pleading-guilty/507-4df3187d-11ce-477a-83b4-df957b72c1a5
