Bowyer Road in Alum Rock was cordoned off after a 16-year-old boy was shot just before 17:30 BST and taken to hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.
West Midlands Police said the shooting happened near a mosque but, at this stage, investigators do not believe it was connected to the place of worship.
Officers and investigators remained at the scene on Wednesday, while local police stayed in the area to reassure residents and gather information.
Police urged witnesses or anyone with further information to come forward directly or contact Crimestoppers as the investigation continues.
