A Texas TikToker allegedly turned Houston’s most vulnerable people into targets for drive-by humiliation videos.
The alleged prank began with bait, degradation and a blast from a motorized water gun fired out of a car window.
Christopher Cayce, 34, became the focus of a Houston police investigation after TikTok clips showed vulnerable people being soaked in drive-by water-gun attacks.
Houston police later tied the videos to a wider investigation. “HPD Major Offenders & Westside Crime Suppression Team investigated multiple cases of disabled & homeless persons who had been shot with a high-powered, motorized water gun,” the department said.
The investigation ended with Cayce’s Thursday arrest on two assault-with-bodily-injury counts.
Police also accused him of two traffic violations tied to the vehicle, including no license plate and illegal window tint.
Police have described the victims as largely homeless or disabled, and investigators are looking beyond Midtown because they believe the attacks may not have been limited to that area.

The clips showed people being sprayed in different street-level settings, including bus stops, medians, sidewalks and areas near the curb.
In several clips, the offer of help appeared to be part of the trap, with cash or food presented from the car before the water gun came out.
One clip focused on a woman who moved toward the vehicle after money was offered.
“Oh, I’m sorry. My bad, baby,” Cayce is heard saying. “You don’t want to grab it? I say I’m sorry.”
As she reached toward the bill, another spray hit her before Cayce yelled, “SWAY OUT!”
The car kept moving as Cayce urged the driver to “go, go, go,” and more people near bus stops were sprayed from the window.
Other clips showed the same kind of escalation, including one person hit after food was thrown and another person apparently sprayed while sleeping.
Cayce appeared to laugh as the car pulled away after yelling, “Wake up your motherf—king ass.”
After the case became public, Cayce’s online response shifted between contrition and justification.
One Facebook video showed Cayce handing out food to displaced people while insisting, “I REALLY LOVE THESE PEOPLE IM NOT A BAD PERSON.”
The post was also directed at Houston police through a tag to the department’s official page.

Cayce tried to minimize the alleged assaults. “It’s just water,” he argued. “A lot of people might think it’s bad, but to me it wasn’t bad.”
A separate post mixed remorse with an attempt to cast the videos as “harmless fun.”
In that post, Cayce pushed back on how he was being portrayed.
“They really want to frame me as a bad person when i genuinely love these people no hate in my blood ever…” he posted.
“For all the feelings I hurt I do sincerely apologize for my actions…in my eyes this was harmless fun that we all enjoy at one point of life…”
Then he turned the criticism back on the commenters.
“I didn’t want to be negative but you know what’s crazy all the people that write bad comments for my childish activities are the same people that role (sic) their windows up to the homeless that ask them for .$50 everyday that’s crazy work but believe it or not I keep GOD first,” he wrote.
By Friday’s exclusive Eyewitness News interview, Cayce was still insisting his apology was genuine.
“I’m totally a thousand percent sorry for this, and that’s not just saying this because I’m caught,” he said.
The outlet challenged him over “the city’s most vulnerable” victims he appeared to target.
“In my videos, I don’t just shoot homeless people,” Cayce claimed.
He also used a cross to frame the water-gun outings as something he prayed over.
“I just put this in front of the door,” he said. “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.”
His defense also leaned on two claims. The water guns were supposedly on the lowest setting, and his YouTube page showed him feeding homeless people with his daughter in a video posted five months earlier.
He argued that the water-gun clips got more attention than his charity videos.
“I feed these people,” Cayce asserted. “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.”
Cayce’s next court date is July 9. He was released Friday on a general order bond after bond was set at $100 for each charge.
Cayce claimed the stunt was over. “They took all my water guns,” he told the outlet. “You can go buy more easily, but I told them I’m done with it. I’m not gonna shoot nobody no more.”
The Class A misdemeanor charge carries a possible sentence of up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000 if Cayce is convicted.
The same week brought another street-level assault case in Los Angeles, where nude cyclists became the targets of an alleged BB-gun attack.
A man is facing charges after allegedly shooting two people with a BB gun at a naked bike riding event in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday.

A local report said two riders were hit after a scooter-riding suspect dressed in black opened fire with a BB gun.
The Los Angeles Daily News described the injuries as minor but visible. “Two men suffered lacerations and were treated at the scene,” the outlet reported.
The cyclists were reportedly participating in World Naked Bike Ride Day, an event described as meant to “celebrate cycling and the human body and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on the road … and … protest … car culture.”
The suspect was reportedly left facing charges that include assault with a deadly weapon.
