A man who died after a drive-by shooting that left two others wounded late Friday in the Austin neighborhood has been identified.

The three men were standing on the sidewalk in the 1600 block of North Mayfield about 11:20 p.m. when someone in a passing vehicle shot them, police said.

Leonard J. Williams-Tate, 31, was shot in his right side and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died at 4:10 a.m. Saturday, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He lived in the 5100 block of West Wabansia.

The two others, 33 and 28, were each shot in the right leg and taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood and West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, respectively, police said. Their conditions had both stabilized.
