doorbell prank child shot houston murder.

Police say a Houston man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy after a prank in which the child knocked on the door of a home and ran away. Authorities say 42-year-old Gonzalo Leon Jr. was taken into custody and booked into the Harris County Jail in Houston early Tuesday. Court records did not list an attorney for Leon who could comment. A cousin told investigators that they knocked on Leon’s door as a prank Saturday night. Commonly referred to as “ding dong ditching,” the prank involves fleeing before someone inside the home opens the door.
