Police were called to the 100 block of Rochester near Primrose Avenue shortly after 2:30 p.m. for reports of several shots fired.
Ribih arrived at hospital with gunshot wounds shortly after the shooting. Investigators continue to look for the other parties involved.
"We received a call from someone in the area here advising us that there had been multiple gunshots fired here and that one vehicle left the scene here," said Duty Insp. John Medeiros.
Witnesses described the vehicle as a black SUV.
There was a second, white vehicle parked at the scene, with bullet holes in the side door. Medeiros says blood was found in that vehicle.
No arrests have been made.
This was the third shooting reported over a 24-hour period this week, after shots were fired near Baseline Road Wednesday night and in the Paul Anka and Uplands area early Thursday morning.
In the latter shooting a 25-year-old man received serious injuries. He's in hospital in stable condition.
Investigations are ongoing in all cases.
