The boy was outside with his mother and another man when two men and two women walked past and exchanged words with the boy's mother and the man she was with, police said.
Someone among the group opened fire from down the block after walking by, police said, hitting only the boy.
The area is one coping with an ongoing gang conflict but it's not clear if the conflict is related to this particular shooting.
Earlier, the 13-year-old was one of seven people, most of them teenagers, shot about 6 p.m. in the 700 block of South California Avenue in the Lawndale neighborhood, police said.
Also this evening, a 24-year-old man was shot in the right leg, left foot and buttocks about 9 p.m. in the 1800 block of East 79th Street in the South Shore neighborhood and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition. Someone opened fire from a dark sedan, police said.
Fifteen minutes later, a 17-year-old boy was shot in the city's Washington Heights neighborhood, said police. That shooting happened on the 1100 block of West Aberdeen Street. The boy was standing with a group of people when a dark-colored sedan drove up and someone inside the vehicle fired shots, said police.
The boy suffered a wound to his left knee and was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital, where he was reported in good condition.
About 12:30 a.m., someone shot a 19-year-old man in the Roseland neighborhood. The man was sitting in a car at 102nd Street and Michigan Avenue when someone shot at him. He walked into Roseland Community Hospital with a graze wound to his arm, police said.
Someone shot a 19-year-old man about 12:55 a.m. near 39th Street and Prairie Avenue in the Bronzeville neighborhood. He was taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County with a wound to his upper arm. No one is in custody.
A 24-year-old man was shot about 1:35 a.m. in the 5600 block of West Chicago Avenue in the Austin neighborhood. He walked into West Suburban Medical Center with a gunshot wound to his hip, police said.
