Man charged after posting videos of himself attacking people with ‘high-powered’ water guns: HPD<\/a><\/p>\nSince last summer, Christopher Cayce has been filming himself driving around southwest Houston and Midtown, ambushing people with water guns.<\/p>\n
He was arrested Thursday and charged with two counts of assault for spraying two men on June 4.<\/p>\n
Many of his targets appeared to be homeless, and police said some of his victims were disabled.<\/p>\n
“Why target some of the city’s most vulnerable?” Eyewitness News asked Cayce.<\/p>\n
“In my videos, I don’t just shoot homeless people,” he replied.<\/p>\n
In one video, he lures a woman to his car with money before spraying her in the face.<\/p>\n
In another, he throws food at a man before blasting him with the water gun.<\/p>\n
“I just put this in front of the door,” Cayce said, brandishing a cross. “I walk and pray every day. Every time I go out, I pray before I go and shoot these people because I really don’t want to hurt nobody.”<\/p>\n
Cayce insists his water guns were set to the lowest possible setting.<\/p>\n
He directed Eyewitness News to his YouTube channel, where he can be seen feeding the homeless with his daughter in a video posted five months ago.<\/p>\n
“I feed these people,” Cayce said. “I gave these people $500 worth of clothes. I don’t post all my positive stuff ’cause it don’t get views. My channel algorithm was me shooting people with water guns.”<\/p>\n
Yet in one post, he refers to his targets as “zombies,” which he conceded could come across as dehumanizing.<\/p>\n
“I’m not calling them zombies because that’s what they are. It’s all commentary for the content. It’s not what I really truly mean. I love everybody genuinely.”<\/p>\n
Cayce is set to appear in court on July 9. In the meantime, he said he’s done with his water gun drive-bys.<\/p>\n
“They took all my water guns,” he said. “You can go buy more easily, but I told them I’m done with it. I’m not gonna shoot nobody no more.”<\/p>\n
