Officers responded around midnight Thursday to the store, located in the 4200 block of North High School Road, where they found the victim wounded.
In an email, IMPD said the victim was "awake and breathing" at the scene.
A vehicle possibly involved was described as a gray or silver Dodge Charger, Buckner said.
