There was no immediate word on any arrests, and the district attorney said it was too early to comment on whether or not the victim and suspect were known to each other.
This is just the latest incident of gun violence to occur in the city, something the DA commented on Sunday night.
"We're gonna continue to pray for the safety and welfare and peace of our city," Kevin Hayden said. "There are simply too many guns on our streets and too many incidents that happen as a result, and it's tragic."

"We're gonna continue to do everything we can in this case and every single other one," the DA added.
An investigation is active and ongoing.
