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

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. 

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

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. 

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.
