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.

That was a prank we used to play as kids. Don't recall anyone getting shot.

1. Guess in Texas kids aren't allowed to do stupid, dumb, kid things anymore.

9. Yes; Way Too Much..

..."what was the kid doing out at 11pm".
The kid and parents are responsible because some idiot hot head had an itchy trigger finger? That's just stupid.

5. Is this the simple ring and run game we played as children... or is the LOUD DONKEY KICK-KICK-KICK on doors *

* that I've seen posted in online video shorts and Ring-cam uploads?

6. We never played this "prank".

Our culture has no respect for peace and quiet.
Does this activity happen in other nations or just here?

8. I think 11-year-olds play and do stupid shit in every town, every nation, every era.

A boisterous child disrespecting peace and quiet does not deserve a death sentence.
