He had been shot twice and was taken to Evanston Hospital, where he remains hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, Evanston police said.
The man had had a verbal altercation with two suspects that led to him being shot by one of the suspects as he was exiting a vehicle, according to police.
The suspects then drove away.

"This was not a random attack. The offenders are not in custody but the investigation does not indicate there is a continued threat to the general public," Evanston police said.
A bullet hole appeared to be visible in an apartment building near Grove Street and Sherman Avenue, but it was unclear if it was related to the incident.
