A kick streamer who was participating in an influencer scavenger hunt has landed in hot water after allegedly shooting an unsuspecting bystander in the leg with a paintball gun.

The event took place in a park and was reportedly run by another streamer known as ‘Ice_Poseidon’.

The hunt had a reward of $30,000 for the winner.

A streamer called ‘XenaTheWitch’ joined in, arriving at the park with a friend, with both wielding paintball guns.

In one video, the streamer can be heard laughing as she and her pal shoot their paintball guns towards a lake, with multiple bystanders nearby.

The other streamer said, “That’s a real worker you almost shot at.”

Xena replied: “Like I give a f***.”

Need To Know can report that a female member of the public was hit with a paintball pellet.

The scavenger hunt was held in Austin, Texas, and broadcast on 9 August.

The victim reportedly filed a report with local police, who are investigating the incident as a potential assault.

One local source reported that Xena has since been arrested, but Austin police had not issued an official notice at the time of writing.

She has also reportedly been banned from the streaming site, Kick, and had her channel removed.

Jam Press has contacted the City of Austin Police Department for comment.
