The Brussels prosecutor’s office confirmed to AFP the overnight killing in the working-class, southwestern district of Anderlecht that was first reported by local mayor Fabrice Cumps.
Brussels has seen an increase in gun crime linked to disputes between rival drug gangs.
One person was wounded in the leg on Thursday in a shooting near the Clemenceau metro station, also in Anderlecht.
And a first shooting incident broke out overnight Tuesday to Wednesday in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, north of the city centre, injuring two people.
Earlier this week, Brussels prosecutor Julien Moinil told local radio that the spate of gun violence appeared linked to turf wars between rival drug gangs.
Local media citing police figures say that there were 89 shooting incidents, killing nine people, in Brussels last year.
Perched on the northwestern coast of the European mainland, Belgium has become a key hub for criminal gangs smuggling narcotics into the continent.
