A 16-year-old boy was shot in the leg early Sunday morning in northeast Houston following an argument with his friend's ex-boyfriend.

Houston police say the teen was driving with a girl when they were confronted by her ex-boyfriend near Moore and Erin streets around 1 a.m. The confrontation escalated into a dispute between the two boys, during which the ex-boyfriend reportedly fired a gun, striking the 16-year-old.

Family members rushed to the teen's aid, bringing him back to their home on Robertson Street before calling for help. The teen was transported to a nearby hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.

The ex-boyfriend fled the scene, but police are working to contact him.
