If you didn't knew about the xoxing, attempted murder. If you did, probably assault unless you are a licenced xoxhunter.
(Most legal systems will probably frown on citizens destroying xoxes on their own - at the very least, they don't want the "But I thought he was xoxing!" defense to be used for murder...)
My takes on it, anyway.
