A 39-year-old Evanston man was shot to death late Monday in a gangway in the 6400 block of North Rockwell Street in West Rogers Park.

Shot in the neck, Johan Jean was found around 11 p.m. and pronounced dead soon after at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, according to the police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
