Perla Avina was 30 and a mother of four when she was killed on October 26, 2014, in East Oakland. She and her husband, Luis Lopez Gallegos, were driving a 1998 Toyota Camry on 98th Avenue when another driver opened fire, striking Avina in the face. Her husband drove a few blocks to their home on Rossmoor Avenue but she died of her injuries.

Initial investigation had no immediate suspects, but police later identified 20-year-old Carl Stephen Dubose of Oakland. He was arrested in Elk Grove after a standoff, confessed to the shooting and was charged with murder and attempted murder; court records say he did not know the victims and the attack was attributed to road rage. Authorities recovered a vehicle and a firearm from Dubose’s residence.

Does anyone have information about this shooting or about Perla’s life in East Oakland that could help fill gaps?
