Paramedics took Noel to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, Lt. Steve Shebloski said.
The nature of the dispute between the victim and the unidentified killer -- described only as male -- remains unclear.
"What is known is the victim got into some type of a verbal confrontation ... shortly before he was shot," Shebloski said. "After the victim was shot, several people fled the area on foot, including the (shooter)."
Homicide detectives have been canvassing the neighborhood in search of witnesses and any surveillance video that may have captured images of the fatal shooting, according to police.
Investigators have no description of the killer, Shebloski said Tuesday afternoon.
