as posted by the channel

A man has been charged with murder for the deadly shooting of an 11-year-old boy who police say was killed while playing "ding dong ditch" in Houston over the weekend.

According to court records, Leon Gonzalo Jr., 42, has been charged with murder. Police identified the victim as 11-year-old Julian Guzman.

He appeared in court Tuesday morning, but he was not given bond. He is expected to appear in court again Wednesday.

According to police, the boy and his friends were playing ding dong ditch on Saturday and rang a doorbell at the home on Mimbrough.

Police say someone in the house came out and started shooting as the kids were running away.

The boy was shot and collapsed about a block away. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later passed away.

A man was detained at the scene for questioning and later released. Police say he was detained again on Sunday for another interview after the boy died.

Prosecutors plan to charge a shooting suspect accused of killing an 11-year-old with capital murder. Documents say 20 guns were seized from the suspect's home. The state will request a $1 million bond.
