Officers responded to the 1500 block of Eddy Street, which is near Fillmore, at 4:01 p.m. to find the male victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper body, San Francisco police spokesman Albie Esparza said.

The suspect fled and remains at large. There is no suspect information at this time, Esparza said.
The victim was taken to San Francisco General Hospital. His condition is unknown.
