KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — In just over a day, more than $2 million has been raised for a Missouri teen who was shot after going to the wrong address.

As of Tuesday morning, more than $2.7 million had been raised through a GoFundMe campaign to support 16-year-old Ralph Yarl.

Kansas City police say just before 10 p.m. on Thursday, Ralph was picking up his younger siblings at a home on N.E. 115th Terrace when he mistakenly went to a house on N.E. 115th Street.

Ralph didn’t have a phone with him and went to the wrong block, his aunt, Faith Spoonmore, wrote on a GoFundMe page set up to help pay medical bills. Spoonmore wrote that Yarl pulled into the driveway and rang the doorbell.

So who is covering the medical bills here, private insurance or the State Medicaid Program? Of course by accepting all that cash they might lose their Medicaid ASAP and have to reimburse them for all monies expended.

Have a Sob story set up a Go Fund Me account.

Weird how the people living in the U.S. pump money into GoFundMe but they don’t have any money to pay their bills and vote for Dung Beetles who will pay their bills for them.

The howling mob has been at his home since the address was released. Probably safer in police custody.

Well. They can live off that their entire lives, easily. If they’re smart.

Its now triple-jeopardy for law-abiding Americans who answer their door.

I read yesterday how a SWAT Team showed up at a guy's house at midnight, after being given an incorrect address. They rung the door bell, then retreated out of the porch-light. When the homeowner showed up at the door with a pistol, they shot him.

In this story, a kid shows up at the wrong house to collect a younger relative, and he gets shot

And then there's just straight up bad people, solicitors, etc... who show up at your door.

America has changed dramatically. Everyone should have a ring-video door bell and cameras. You can monitor and record who shows up.

The shooter’s homeowner’s insurance will have write a check and Mr. Lester’s heirs will have to slice their piece of the pie much thinner than they expected.

It always amazes me how GoFundMe picks and chooses what get cancelled and doesn’t. No one seems to care about the 85 year old. He was asleep and responded the the doorbell. Not sure what time this was that he thought he needed his gun to answer the door but it’s not surprising he would fear a break in.

I am trying to understand how he teenager was at the wrong address. Had he never been there before even though he was picking up his twin brothers?

I have a real problem with the second shot if indeed the facts are as reported (a high risk these days) that the man came outside through his two locked doors to fire again while the teenager was on the ground.

I am not sure why this is being turned into a race situation other than it’s profitable to do so. Plus it’s Missouri so the media can stir that up.

An innocent kid was shot in the face. The responses on this thread are shameful.

Ah I see now it was 10pm. Makes sense the elderly resident would be on guard.

The myth is being created, the narrative supported.

Many have learned nothing from the George Floyd, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin charades.

Yarl is home, so obviously, his injuries are minor, not "life threatening".

We hear nothing, from the msm, on the poor White woman, kidnapped and assaulted, from the door of her Chicago apartment building, the other night.

Has she been found?

Is she even alive?

There is very disturbing video, of the crime.

Have any of the black criminals been arrested?

Did she get a call from POTATUS?

White people are murdered and assaulted, by blacks, every day, in the US.

We hear crickets from the msm.

Indeed a 17 year old girl had the same thing happen to her believe it was in the same state a day age or so ago bet she doesn’t get a pay my way ride.

Over $2 million raised on GoFundMe for Missouri teen shot after going to wrong house

Question: How many of the GoFundMe donors actually follow through with donations, and how much does GoFundMe skim off the top?

All crowd funding donations should be taxed 100% to the donors. The tax money should go to the deficit.
