He was hit at least twice in the chest when they were ambushed outside a house at Evelyn Gardens, Skegoneill.
The girl, aged 18, was also taken to hospital. She was hit in the hand and body.
The pair were either in or about to get into a car at the time.
It is understood gunmen pulled up in a van and fired five times. The man, aged 47, was believed to be the intended target.
One unconfirmed report claimed the gunman involved was masked.
