I guess a precedent would be noise pollution laws. You can create sound waves on your own property but be prosecuted for their effects outside of it

To my knowledge that doesn't extend across state lines. I wanted to see precedent of someone doing something in one state and being criminally prosecuted for that act in a different state.

As a counter example, it's extremely common for people to hunt (or fish) on the legal side of boundaries with a restricted area using calls (or scents, bait, chum) to lure game to the area they can legally be in.

Any case law for shooting a bullet across state lines and hitting someone?
