The sixth homicide of the night - a 29-year-old man found dead inside his car with a gunshot wound to the head - drew a crowd from the neighboring Wentworth Gardens apartment complex at 37th and Wells streets, two blocks south of U.S. Cellular Field.
At one point, cars from the Englewood police district came north to assist with crime scene security. At least 14 cars, most marked, sat near the crime scene early Saturday morning. The district's northern border is 18 blocks south of the scene.
A spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office identified the man as Walter Pate, and said he lived in the 13900 block of South Dearborn Street in Riverdale. A cousin at the scene said he lived in the gardens housing complex, though.
