HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A 19-year-old was meeting someone who expressed interest in buying a PlayStation 5 from him and ended up shot in northwest Harris County, deputies said.

Deputies said it happened Sunday at about 1:30 p.m. in the 8300 block of Gros Ventre Lane.

The 19-year-old man had listed his PS5 for sale online and then agreed to meet the suspect in person for the transaction.

That's when the suspect pulled out a gun and attempted to rob the man, according to deputies. The suspect got away without the gaming console.

The man was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound to his side and was in stable condition at last check.

Deputies did not release a suspect description.

Several websites list the PS5 going for more than $500.
