A witness told police he and the victim were standing on the front porch of a residence in the 3300 block of Wilson Place about 12:50 a.m. when a man, who was walking by, stopped, blurted "Hey," brandished a firearm, and then fired it, wounding the victim, according to the police report. The witness then reportedly fought with the suspect before the latter fled.

Police did not say what the motive was.

There was no word of arrests.
