It happened at Newfield Park on Jefferson and Newfield avenues at around 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Police say Joseph Meyers, 38, was found inside a car with a gunshot wound to the head. Meyers' family says he may have been killed over a winning lottery ticket he was holding.

Meyers' family says they are accepting donations for funeral expenses through Morton's Funeral Home.
