Share this @internewscast.com

A Washington resident with a history of four felony convictions finds himself incarcerated once more, following allegations that he shot a teenager in the chest in retaliation for a neighborhood prank.

The sequence of events began when a group of four teenagers decided to toss water balloons from their car while cruising through Tacoma on February 28, as reported by FOX 13.

One of the balloons allegedly hit the vehicle of 31-year-old Majeed Guerry, allowing water to splash inside through an open window, leaving him soaked.

Reacting to the incident, Guerry is said to have pursued the teenagers down a cul-de-sac near a disposal site.

Once the teens found themselves cornered, Guerry allegedly resorted to violent measures in response to the water balloon prank.

Court documents sourced by FOX 13 indicate that Guerry purportedly pistol-whipped the teenager who threw 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. 

After leaving the alleged shooting, police said Guerry drove to a local casino, according to FOX 13.

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. 

He was taken into custody on March 20, according to the Tacoma Police Department.

In court Monday, Guerry pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, assault, unlawful imprisonment and unlawful possession of a firearm charges. His bail was set at $150,000. 

Since Guerry is a felon with a criminal history of assaults and protection order violations, he is legally prohibited from owning a gun, according to FOX 13.

Before leaving the courtroom, Guerry reportedly addressed his supporters in the gallery, telling them, “Come get me,” as he was led out, the outlet reported.
