A 24-year-old man was in life-threatening condition after being shot in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood Thursday night, police said Friday.

The victim was at Eddy and Leavenworth streets around 10 p.m. when a group of nine individuals came up to him and “a verbal argument” erupted, followed by one of the suspects shooting the victim in the chest, according to the San Francisco Police Department. The suspects fled from the area.

Police said they detained multiple individuals but they were later released and no arrest was made. The investigation is ongoing.
