Quinton Williams III, 19, was fatally shot on August 1, 2020, after an altercation that began inside the Queen of Sheba Market on 35th Avenue in Oakland. The confrontation continued after the parties left the store; Dante Curley, 24, fired at a moving vehicle carrying Williams and two friends, and Williams was struck and killed. Surveillance later showed Williams and a friend were armed inside the convenience store, which investigators said heightened tensions before the shooting.

Dante Curley was arrested in September 2020 and charged with manslaughter. He later accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to six years in prison in May 2024; about two years remained on that sentence after credit for time served. Curley maintained he acted in self-defense, saying he believed someone in the vehicle was going to start shooting based on the earlier encounter. The gun used in the shooting was registered to Marquise Williams, and both brothers were seen trying to hide it near the store. Judge Mark McCannon observed that no one involved appeared entirely innocent in the case.

Does anyone have information about the events at the Queen of Sheba Market that night or the people involved?
