Lester, an 84-year-old white man," writes HuffPost contributing writer Sage Howard. "Last Thursday evening, the teen mistakenly arrived at the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his twin younger brothers from a friend’s house and rang the doorbell, only to get shot at through the front door’s glass."⁠ ⁠ "Initially, Lester was reportedly taken into custody by police and released after 24 hours. After intense pressure from social media and protesters outside Lester’s home, he was finally charged by Kansas City police."⁠ ⁠ "We are praying for Yarl’s recovery and awaiting Lester’s fate, all while processing extremely intense emotions," Howard continues. "We are primarily grappling with the reality that this moment is yet another in a seemingly never-ending cycle of violence against innocent Black children. Every single year, it seems, 'the talk' Black parents have to give their kids — about safely navigating life in a country that only sees them as a threat — gets longer and longer, with more stipulations, conditions and warnings."⁠ ⁠ "As a Black woman, I have always feared ending up in the wrong white space at the wrong time. Now as a parent, the fear is multilayered. My child is only a toddler, but I know I’ll inevitably have to tell them the truth about their world sooner rather than later.
