The man had one bullet lodged in his leg and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition, police said.

He did not provide additional information about who shot him, police said. Officers have not found witnesses willing to share details about the shooting either.

No one was in custody, and Area Central detectives were investigating the shooting.

The gun violence unfolded blocks from a hub of late-night clubs in the neighborhood, just north of downtown.
