A hail of bullets rained down at a residence on Wheelock Street Monday afternoon, but police had not found a victim or suspect about an hour after the incident.
The shooters opened fire on a residence in the 900 block of Wheelock Street around 5 p.m.
Police blocked off the street, which was littered with more than 30 shell casings, as they investigated.
A witness said the gunmen pulled up in a black car that was headed west, opened fire and then turned south onto James Street.
A victim was initially reported to have been taken to a hospital, but police at the scene said no area hospitals reported treating any one for a gunshot wound.
Officers at the scene said it appeared more than one weapon was used.
