Emergency services were called to Monagh Road, in the west of the city , at 9.25pm on Friday night, September 6.
A 27-year-old man was shot in the leg and taken to hospital. His condition is not known at this time.
Inspector James Murphy said: "At approximately 9.25pm this evening, we received a report that a 27-year-old man had been shot in the leg. He has been taken to hospital.
"This is a cowardly, despicable act that was carried out in a built up area. The perpetrator, or perpetrators, do not care for either the victim or the people who live in close proximity to where this incident happened.
"I would appeal for anyone who witnessed this incident or anyone who has information to contact detectives at Musgrave on 101 quoting ref 2168 06/09/19."
