The victim was leaving a convenience store when someone approached him, tried to steal his cell phone, then shot him, police said.
A Good Samaritan flagged down a Los Angeles Fire Department crew driving nearby.
The victim was treated at the scene and then taken to a hospital for surgery, police said. He has since been released.
The shooter ran away after firing the gun, and officers believe they have identified a white newer model Chevy Impala, with a non-operational right headlamp and damage on the right side of its hood, as a possible suspect vehicle.
Authorities circulated photos of the vehicle and encouraged anyone with information about it to call the Culver City Police Department's watch commander at 323-253-6202.
