A new drama by firearm that has stirred up all the United States. Last Thursday, in Kansas City, Missouri, a 16-year-old black boy was seriously wounded by a shot in the head, then a second shot while he was on the ground, through a glass door, according to the victim's aunt, Faith Spoonmoore.

The reason? He simply went to the wrong house and rang the wrong doorbell, that of Andrew Lester, an 85-year-old white man. The teenager, seriously injured, is now in stable condition, according to his lawyers.

Call for justice

The owner of the house was temporarily detained by the police, but was later released pending further investigation. An unacceptable decision for Halle Berry, who expressed all her indignation on Twitter, indicating the address of the judicial center where to send grievances for fair justice.

"His name is #RalphYarl and I can't stand this situation anymore. My heart broke completely when I learned that the precious life of this 16-year-old boy, who accidentally rang the wrong door to pick up his siblings, was put in danger by a bullet to the head... by a man who didn't want him on his property. This innocent child is fighting for his life today," she wrote.

"It could be your child. It should NOT happen. Do something today! Join me and contact Attorney Zachary Thompson... and demand immediate arrest and proper prosecution. »

A message that found an echo in Justin Timberlake, who urged his fans in turn to share the call on the networks. "Right now, the man is free and the innocent teenager is fighting for his life in the hospital. This is unacceptable," the singer added on Instagram.

'Racially motivated'

Madonna posted a series of photos on an Instagram story showing the young man playing the saxophone, then on a hospital bed. "That's America," it read.

Other celebrities have joined the call to action, including Viola Davis, Naomi Campbell and Jennifer Hudson. The singer, part of whose family was shot dead several years ago, posted: "My God! I am heartbroken for this young man and his family. I pray that he will make a full recovery. »

The shooter has since been charged with two criminal charges, first-degree assault and criminal action with a weapon. The prosecutor ended up recognizing "a racial motivation" to the attack, without this being held against Andrew Lester for the moment. An arrest warrant has been issued for him. The police are looking for him.
