The surmise and the dupe of a fateful shot in sam houston, Texas on Saturday have been identified. The Houston Police Department identified the 11-year-old boy fatally shot while playing 'ding, dong, ditch' prank as Julian Guzman. The suspect charged for the alleged killing was identified as Gonzalo Leon Jr.
On Tuesday, Gonzalo Leon Jr was booked at the Harris County jail in Houston for the shooting at Houston's Eastside neighborhood. The child was pronounced dead at the hospital after being shot while playing the 'ding, dong ditch' prank at a home on Eastside on Saturday night. It was not immediately clear if Leon Jr lived in one of the homes where Guzman knocked.
"Officers were told that Guzman was ringing doorbells of homes in the area and running away," a statement from Houston PD read. "A witness stated Guzman was running from a house, after ringing the doorbell, just prior to suffering a gunshot wound."
The “ding dong ditch” involves someone ringing a doorbell (or knocks on a door) and then quickly running away before the person inside answers. It’s usually done by kids or teens as a mischievous joke.
