Houston ‘ding-dong-ditch’ shooting

By the numbers:

Leon is accused of fatally shooting Guzman on Aug. 30. The incident occurred just before 11 p.m. in the 9700 block of Mimbrough, near Fidelity Street, in east Harris County.

Authorities say Guzman and his cousin were playing "ding-dong-ditch" after a family birthday. They allegedly knocked on Leon's door and ran away multiple times.

On the last attempt, investigators say Leon came from behind a gate and fired two shots: one into the ground, and another that struck Guzman.

Guzman was taken to the hospital in critical condition and died the next day.
