The victim was taken to Lincoln Hospital where he's expected to survive.

The third shooting took place around 8:20 p.m., when a 21-year-old man was shot in the left leg at 1311 College Avenue.

He was taken to Lincoln Hospital where he's expected to survive.

The shooting happened just steps from Doris and Juan Martinez's stoop.

They say the occupants of two different cars appeared to be fighting with each other and opened fire at the very moment three men rode down the block on Citi bikes.

"There were three bikes, one of the boys on the bike got shot in the leg," Doris Martinez said.

All three bystanders ran for cover, one of them, the 21-year-old victim, was rushed to the hospital.

It comes after a different 21-year-old victim was shot and killed Wednesday night on the same block.

No arrests have been made in any of Thursday's shootings.

Investigations are underway.
