A Senita 1 resident captured front-door home surveillance video Friday night that clearly shows the face of a young man giving her front door the boot.
That’s right, the door kickers are still at it.
“An individual came and kicked our front door and ran, shortly after shots were heard,” Keely Suganuma said. “If you know anything, contact MPD!”
Several reports of hit-and-run door-kicking were initially reported in Suganuma’s neighborhood late July, believed to be reaction to the viral “kick door challenge,” one of many online trends that could end up getting people hurt or charged with a crime. The trend, which originally reared its ugly head on TikTok, involves teens banging on doors in the middle of the night and running away. Think ding-dong-ditch, but instead you commit a felony.
Local troublemakers decided to farm clout with the new social media trend that’s intended to damage other people’s homes and terrify people while they sleep. The group reportedly struck several houses in Senita and Tortosa in July.
Maricopa Police Department spokesperson Monica Williams confirmed Suganuma’s report of shots fired near her Kimberly Street home Friday night but added, “There was no evidence of a shooting.”
“We want to emphasize the importance of reporting incidents directly to MPD so a case can be opened and investigated thoroughly,” Williams said this morning. “With regards to this being a trend, it is not one we have seen here in the City of Maricopa.”
Other Maricopa neighbors responded to Suganuma’s report saying they’ve also been kicked.

In July, a Senita resident shared photos on social media of his severely damaged front door that fell victim to the viral challenge on July 20.
“Parents, please warn your children about this bullsh*t because it’s Arizona,” Senita resident Ron Ingram said at the time. “Nobody in Arizona [is] playing games about the safety of their family.”
A Maine teen was shot in July during the challenge’s less aggressive counterpart, the “door knock challenge,” TikTok’s take on ding-dong ditching.
Other TikTok trends that rose to infamy in the past include the “condom snorting challenge,” which was just what the name describes; the “devious lick challenge,” in which children would steal and vandalize items in schools; and the “Kia Boyz challenge,” gamified auto theft that enticed people of all ages to steal cars with a USB cable.
