A Houston man is accused of killing an 11-year-old boy after a “ding dong ditch” shooting Saturday – the latest example of a trend that has left children dead.

Gonzalo Leon Jr., 42, was charged with murder Monday for the death of 11-year-old Julian Guzman, the city of Houston said Tuesday.

Harris County court records previously identified the suspect as Leon Gonzalo Jr. The suspect was booked into jail Tuesday morning, county records show.

Leon allegedly opened fire on the 11-year-old, whom a witness described as running away from the house when he was shot, according to police.

“Officers were told the male was ringing doorbells of homes in the area and running away,” police said. “A witness stated the male was running from a house, after ringing the doorbell, just prior to suffering a gunshot wound.”

The shooting did not seem to involve self-defense because the shooting “wasn’t close to the house,” Houston police homicide Sgt. Michael Cass said, according to CNN affiliate KHOU.

“Ding dong ditching” is an age-old prank that’s risen in popularity in recent years as a social media challenge. TikTok videos often feature variations where pranksters pound on or kick people’s front doors.

In May, an 18-year-old high school senior in Virginia was shot and killed while filming a “ding dong ditch” to post on TikTok, The New York Times reported. The man accused of shooting the teen was charged with second-degree murder.

In 2020, three 16-year-olds were killed when a California man rammed his car into their vehicle in retaliation for a “ding dong ditch” prank. The man was convicted of three counts of murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 2023.

In the Houston case, the boy and his friends were playing a game of “ding dong ditch” at a house down the street from their homes just before 11 p.m. Saturday when a person inside the house came out and shot the boy, Houston police said.

The boy was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead Sunday.
