A 16-year-old who was selling items online is in the hospital after authorities say he was shot three times after meeting up with a group who tried to rob him during the sale.
Three suspects, all believed to be young adults or teenagers, ran off after the shooting. Deputies believe they got into a vehicle nearby and fled the scene. Investigators are combing through surveillance video to try and get a better description of the vehicle.
This is the fourth time in a week a teenager in the Houston area has been shot or stabbed. Three have been killed including a 13 year old girl who was stabbed to death. In that case, a ten year old boy turned himself in and claimed it was self defense.
