Unforeseen tragedy strikes in a Democratic-administered city: a teen prank results in fatal consequences, causing the homeowner to face a grave murder accusation.

In a tragic turn of events, a 42-year-old man from Houston, Texas, named Gonzalo Leon Jr., has been charged with murder following the shooting and subsequent death of an 11-year-old boy, Julian Guzman.

According to reports, the shooting occurred on a Saturday, but Julian was pronounced dead the following day, Sunday. The incident did not take place near his house, as initially speculated. Gonzalo was initially detained at the scene but was later released.

The Houston Police Department's SWAT team arrested Gonzalo Leon Jr. and booked him into the Harris County Jail on Tuesday. The exact date of his arrest is not specified in the available search results.

The shooting of Julian Guzman is believed to be unprovoked, as Houston Police Department Sgt. Michael Cass stated that the shooting does not appear to be self-defense. Julian was reported to have been running away when he was allegedly shot.

A similar incident occurred in Frisco, Texas, on July 28, 2025, although no location for this incident was provided. In this incident, a "ding-dong ditch" prank led to aggravated assault charges, but no mention was made of any fatalities. Damon Wolfe, the individual involved in the Frisco incident, was charged with three counts of aggravated assault.

It's important to note that this incident is separate from another incident where two men claiming to be police were shot and killed by a homeowner, according to authorities.
