A man has been arrested in the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy in Houston after a prank in which he rang the doorbell of a home and ran away, police said.
Gonzalo Leon Jr., 42, was taken into custody by a SWAT team early Tuesday, according to the Houston Police Department. He's currently being held in the Harris County jail on a murder charge.
What happened
The 11-year-old boy, along with a group of children, had been ringing doorbells as a prank late Saturday evening, the Houston PD said in a statement. Commonly referred to as "ding dong ditching," the prank involves fleeing before someone inside the home opens the door.
The boy, who was later identified as Julian Guzman, died of his wounds Sunday, police said.
