The man who died was shot along with another man early Wednesday at Summer and Pearl streets.
PATERSON - One man was killed and another wounded early Wednesday as they sat in front of a home in the city, authorities said.
The men, who were not identified, were shot as they sat on steps at the corner of Summer and Pearl streets, according to Paterson Police Director Jerry Speziale.
The killing was Paterson's third homicide in five days.
On Saturday, Genico Robinson, 20, of Paterson, was shot and killed about 2 a.m. on North Main Street, police said.
On Sunday, Kasiem L. McCaskill, 22, was shot about 3:45 a.m. in the area of Carrol and Harrison Streets, authorities said. He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital, where he died about 1 a.m. Monday.

McCaskill was a known gang member who recently received a community award for his role in lasts year's truce among city street gangs. Though he'd been credited with promoting peace in the city, police said McCaskill was arrested on drug charges in March.
Police have not said whether Wednesday's homicide is related to Robinson's or McCaskill's killings and police have not made arrests in any of the three shootings.
