TL;DR Summary

A Missouri judge has ruled that a white homeowner accused of shooting a black teenager who went to the wrong address in Kansas City will stand trial. The incident occurred in April when the homeowner allegedly shot the 16-year-old in the head and arm after he rang the man's doorbell. The defendant claimed he thought the teen was trying to break in and was "scared to death." The case has raised questions about racial bias and the role of "stand your ground" laws. The next court appearance is scheduled for September 20.
