A Houston man has been charged after allegedly fatally shooting an 11-year-old boy who rang the man’s doorbell while playing “ding dong ditch,” the game of ringing a stranger’s doorbell or knocking on their door and then running away.

According to an affidavit by a Houston police officer that was viewed by Complex and a press release put out by the city, just before 11 p.m. on Saturday (August 30), the boy, Julian Guzman, and his friends pulled the prank on at a house on Mimbrough Street.
