Overview

• The victim was identified as 11-year-old Julián Guzmán, who died Sunday after being shot around 10:55 p.m. Saturday in east Houston.
• Investigators say Guzmán lived a block from the home where the shots were fired and had been out with friends participating in a ding-dong ditch prank.
• A witness told detectives the shooter ran into the street and fired toward the fleeing children, and a homicide detective said the case does not appear to be self-defense.
• Police initially detained and released the suspect after questioning, later serving a search warrant that uncovered numerous firearms, and they are asking the public for tips.
