A man was injured following a shooting after a Drake concert at House of Blues Chicago early Saturday (May 16) morning.

Reports indicated that a 21-year-old male was shot in the buttocks at approximately 4:00 AM, during which time over 1,000 fans were making their way out of the venue.

Witnesses at the show said Drake got on stage at around 3:00 AM and performed a 45-minute set, when multiple fights broke out in the club.

At that point, the concert-goers were ordered to leave the venue. Following this, an altercation outside of the venue lead to a shooting.

The victim was treated for the wound at Northwestern Hospital, while the gunman remains unknown.

Drake canceled an after-party appearance as a result of the violence.

Detectives are currently investigating, and no one was in custody as of Saturday evening.
