The area of Short Vine between Corry Street and W. Carlton Street was blocked off while police investigated.
Police said they believe this was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the general public.
Friday's shooting comes after several other shootings and shots-fired incidents surrounding UC since the beginning of the fall semester. The shootings prompted UC to issue a letter to the community, and Cincinnati police responded by initiating road closures on nearby streets around campus during certain hours.
On Thursday, Cincinnati police adjusted the road closures for this weekend after pushback from business owners.
