Ralph Yarl, the Black teen who was shot after going to the wrong house in Kansas City, Mo., to pick up his siblings, said in his first interview since the April shooting that the man who fired at him “should be convicted for the crimes that he made.”

may use physical, deadly force against another person if he or she “reasonably believes that such deadly force is necessary” to protect “against death, serious physical injury, or any forcible felony.”The law also notes that people do not “have a duty to retreat” in a variety of settings, including a home where they are legally allowed to be, on private property they lease or own, or in “any other location such person has the right to be.

Researchers said Lester’s description of Yarl fits a pattern among shootings of young Black males and that similar language has been used in other cases, reflecting the fear people of other races sometimes feel when seeing Black people. Yarl told ABC that after he was shot he approached multiple homes before someone chose to help get him to a hospital. “So then I go to the next house across the street. No one answers. And the house to the right of that house, I go there and someone opens the door and tells me to wait for the police,” he said.Cleo Nagbe, Yarl’s mother, recalled how she was concerned when her son did not return home from picking up his siblings.

Yarl said he and his family have relocated since the shooting. He said he is struggling but is seeing a therapist and focusing on two of his loves: music and chemical engineering. “I’m just a kid and not larger than life because this happened to me,” he told ABC. “I’m just going to keep doing all the stuff that makes me happy. And just living my life the best I can and not let this bother me.”

Even though Yarl said he wants Lester to be convicted, he told Roberts that he has let go of personal animosity he harboredKelsey Ables and Mark Berman contributed to this report.
