An 11-year-old boy has died after being shot while playing a doorbell ditch prank in Houston on Saturday night, police said.
The boy and several other kids were ringing doorbells and running from multiple homes in an east Houston neighborhood, according to CNN affiliate KHOU . As the boy ran from a house on Racine Street just before 11 p.m., someone chased after him and shot him in the back, according to KHOU.
The boy was transported to hospital and was pronounced dead on Sunday, according to police.
One person was detained at the scene for questioning and has since been released, police said. Investigators are reviewing surveillance video and working with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office on possible charges, KHOU reported.
