A Missouri judge ruled Thursday that the 84-year-old White homeowner who shot a Black teenager after he mistakenly went to the man's house must stand trial.
Ralph Yarl, a high school student, went to pick up his siblings on April 13 but went to the wrong Kansas City, Missouri, house.
His aunt said the teen was supposed to pick up his younger twin brothers from a friend's house on 115th Terrace but went to 115th Street by mistake. Lester, a retired aircraft mechanic, is charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
