The shooting occurred at 9:20 p.m. in the 600 block of North Garfield Street, Police Lt. Earl Porter said.
Police said the man, whose name and age were not available, was shot once in the chest by as he stood outside with friends.
The friends, none of whom was injured, rushed him to Western Medical Center-Santa Ana, where he was dead on arrival.
