Yarl, aged 16, was shot when he mistakenly rang the wrong doorbell when collecting his younger sib🃏lings.

Andrew Le𓆉ster, 84, has been charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action, prosecutors said.

Yarl survive💯d the shooting. Prosecutors said there was a "racial component" to 😼it.

President Joe Biden phoned his family to speak with them after the 📖shooting, his family say.

Mercedes F1 driver Hamilton has now added his voice t🅘o the growing protests after the teenager was shot.

"Ralph Yarl is just a kid and was shot for making a simple mistake,"𝓰 Hamilton wrote. "Thank God he's alive, there needs to be justice!"

Hamilton’s social activism is a key part of his character and he has regularly supported causes close to h🌄is heart.

He famously took a knee on the F1 grid weari🍌ng a t-shirt which read: “Arrest the cops who killedꦏ Breonna Taylor.”

This season a new FIA rule was introduced which stated that drivers cannot make 🦋“personal, religious and political statements” without written permission.

Hamilton was among the drivers who criticised the neꦰw rule.

It was later clarified b🌠y the FIA that drivers could use ♛their own social media platforms however they wish - meaning Hamilton’s support of Yarl is not breaking any rule.
