The Clay County Prosecutor's Office has taken over the case and will determine whether or not to file charges against the suspect. Police were called to the scene on Thursday night after a 911 call reported that someone had been shot at a nearby residence.

 

Upon arriving at the location, officers discovered 16-year-old Ralph Yarl outside a neighboring home. Andrew D. Lester, the suspect, was found inside the front storm door of his own residence with shattered glass. Lester granted permission for a search of his home, which uncovered cameras on the south and east sides of the property, as well as blood on the front porch and driveway.

 

According to a witness, two to three gunshots were heard after an unidentified vehicle entered Lester's driveway. Yarl was heard yelling that he had been shot. He sustained injuries to his head and arm, but has since been released from the hospital and is in stable condition.

 

The family of Ralph Yarl has hired attorneys Lee Merritt and Ben Crump to represent them and is seeking justice in the case. During a CSI investigation at Lester's home, a. 32-caliber revolver was found with live rounds in the chamber and two expended casings still in the cylinder.
