Two 40-year-old Hispanic men got into a fist fight outside a bar on Washington Street between Dorgenois and Broad.
Before long, the fight escalated to the point where one of the combatants drew a gun and opened fire.
NOPD did not elaborate on what started the fight.
After the suspect fired a shot at the victim, the victim continued to fight and the suspect fired a second shot, this time hitting the victim.
Both men then fled the scene.
The wounded victim made his own way to a hospital.
