Repeat offender allegedly shoots teen, pistol-whips victim after prank sparks violent retaliation

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A Washington man with four prior felony convictions is back behind bars after he allegedly shot a teenager in the chest over a neighborhood prank. 

The incident unfolded as a group of four teens were throwing water balloons from their vehicle while driving through Tacoma on Feb. 28, FOX 13 reported.

One of the balloons reportedly struck 31-year-old Majeed Guerry’s vehicle, causing water to enter through an open window – getting him wet. 

In response to the prank, Guerry allegedly chased the teens down a dead-end street near a dump site.

Once the group was cornered, Guerry is accused of unleashing a litany of violence against them in retaliation for throwing the water balloon. 

According to court documents obtained by FOX 13, Guerry allegedly pistol-whipped the teenager responsible for throwing the balloon. 

He then allegedly shot the same victim in the chest, the outlet reported.

Immediately following the shooting, Guerry allegedly robbed the group of $100 in cash and fled the scene. 

Authorities were called to the area shortly after 9 p.m., where they found the four teenage boys inside the vehicle, noting one member of the group was suffering from a gunshot wound.

The victim was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive.

Investigators used a network of surveillance cameras to track Guerry’s movements leading up to and immediately after the alleged shooting to link him to the crime scene, the outlet reported.
