A young man was shot and left for dead last week, after meeting up with a girl he met online.
Philman Hartman started talking with 18-year-old Brittany Shalynn Davis on a dating app, Plenty of Fish. Later, he was invited by the girl to her apartment building at El Sol Brillante Apartments in the 6400 block of Sierra Blanca on June 29.
However, when Hartman, from Houston, got there, he became the unwitting victim of an armed robbery allegedly hatched by the teen girl and two male friends.
He said while the two were standing outside talking, 18 year-
old Brittany Shalynn Davis got on the phone with someone
and told them she was standing at the bottom of the
stairwell.
Davis told the Hartman that she needed to go get something from a friend’s house and began to walk off. That is when two armed men approached the Hartman and demanded money.
After searching the him and realizing he had no cash, the suspects began to argue with Davis, criticizing her for bringing a man to them who had no money.
The suspects then ordered the man to walk to his vehicle. Hartman refused and that’s when one of the men asked ‘Well are you trying to die today? As he was walking toward his vehicle, they shot him in the chest and ran off believing he was dead. The victim said one of the men said “He’s dead,” and all three suspects ran off.
The victim pretended to be dead until Davis and the men left. Afterward, he got into his car and dialed 911. He drove to Highway 6 and Alief Clodine, where he stopped and waited for paramedics because he could not breathe, according to court documents.
Philman Hartman says he met Davis on the dating app Plenty of Fish and was attacked when he went to meet the teen at her apartment on June 29
Hartman survived to see Davis arrested and now he’s telling his tale as a warning to others looking for love online.
Hartman tells KTRK that he met Davis on the dating app Plenty of Fish, which he says he has used to meet people before.
He says he talked with Davis for about three days before she invited him over to her apartment complex to meet in person.
Hartman credits his survival to playing dead and waiting for the group to run away.
‘I just closed my eyes real quick and played dead and then peaked them open and they were all the way down the street,’ he said.

He then found the strength to get back in his car where he called 911. He drove a small distance, but then had to pull over and wait for paramedics since he was having trouble breathing.
Hartman considers himself ‘blessed’ to be alive and says the whole ordeal has scared him away from online dating.
After reporting the incident to police, investigators tracked down Davis.

She was ordered held in the Harris County Jail on $30,000 bail.
