A man was wounded early Sunday in a shooting in the Wicker Park neighborhood on the West Side.

The 37-year-old was shot as he left a business about 2:15 a.m. in the 1500 block of North Milwaukee Avenue, according to Chicago Police. He was hit once in his leg.

There was a large argument happening in the middle of the street at the time of the shooting, police said. The man may not have been the target of the shooter.
