Tyrique Watley was 18 and a college student when he was shot and killed in Oakland, California, on August 29, 2021. Watley had recently moved to Alameda to attend Lincoln University in downtown Oakland on a football scholarship. He was a passenger in a car driving along Broadway in the Uptown district around 2:48 a.m. when someone on the sidewalk opened fire. The driver rushed him to a hospital, but Watley succumbed to his injuries.

Two women, ages 29 and 33, were also struck by stray bullets while in a parked vehicle nearby; they were taken to the hospital and later released. Police believe the shooter may have been near a parked food truck, but the motive remains unclear and it is not known whether any of the victims were specifically targeted. No arrests have been announced; authorities and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to a $20,000 reward for information.

Does anyone have information about that night on Broadway or about activity near the parked food truck who could help investigators?
