One of the programs I get to work with on a daily basis is #JPLI If you have a family member with a serious mental illness, know there are people out there trying to make sure they get connected to #HelpNotHandcuffs

Serious mental illness (SMI) is not a crime. Our Judges and Psychiatrists Leadership Initiative convenes judges and psychiatrists to create systemic change that keeps our community members with SMI out of prison and reduces recidivism rates.

Ralph Yarl, age 16, knocked on the wrong door in Missouri and was shot.

He went to the door at the wrong home to pick up his younger twin brother and that’s when he was shot, according to police.

CBS affiliate KCTV reports: “The correct address Yarl was attempting to go to was a block away. According to the victim’s Aunt, Faith Spoonmore, the homeowner opened his door and then opened fire on Yarl. The man, whose identity has not been released yet, allegedly took a second shot at Yarl, hitting him in the head again.”

According to KSHB TV: “Yarl was shot by a homeowner after mistakenly arriving at the wrong address — 1100 block of Northeast 115th Street instead of 1100 block of Northeast 115th Terrace.”

The shooting happened April 13th.

The shooter was held by police for 24 hours, pending investigation, but then released.

“I want everyone to know that I am listening,” Kansas City police chief Stacy Graves said at a news conference at Kansas City police headquarters downtown, “and I understand the concern we are receiving from the community.”

“Yarl is the utmost example of how you want a young man to carry himself in this world,” said one of the teen’s longtime teachers to the Kansas City Star. Meara Mitchell, a teacher of Yarl’s for several years, called his shooting “incomprehensible.” She described him Sunday as a “stellar human-being” with a “quiet fortitude.”

KCTV 5 adds: “Yarl is a section leader in his school’s marching band and is said to be a top-base clarinet player in the state of Missouri.”
