Dad Who Shot At Kids Egging His House Faces Prison Time: Report

The man fired a gun at a vehicle occupied by high school students following a series of pranks, prosecutors said.

SAN MATEO — A 55-year-old man who shot at kids who egged his house and poured oil on his porch entered a plea Monday in San Mateo County, according to a report by KRON4.

Steven Miceli, 55, of San Mateo pleaded no contest Monday to felony assault with a firearm and possession of ammunition by a convicted felon. The charges stem from a May 25, 2025, incident where Miceli fired two shots at an SUV carrying three teenagers who had just egged his home on Annapolis Drive, KRON4 reported.

The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office told KRON4, the conflict began days earlier when two 16-year-olds and a 17-year-old targeted Miceli's home because a female classmate they disliked lived there.
