A teenager is facing armed robbery charges after police found a gun in Roxbury.

Police say the 17-year-old was meeting up with someone at a pizza shop Saturday afternoon to buy a pair of sneakers posted on an online ad.

The suspect took the sneakers without pay for them, and then flashed a gun at the seller.

Police later found the teen, and the gun in a nearby trash can.
