LOS ANGELES — The streets were slick with rain in northwest Pasadena when Jamal Patterson went to watch "Monday Night Football" at his mother's house last October.
The 24-year-old was sitting in a car with two other men across the street from his mother's home after the game when someone shot into the car. Patterson usually sat on his mother's front porch with his friends, but the recent rain made everything wet.
Patterson, a father of two, died three days later at Huntington Memorial Hospital.
