Ralph Allen Leon Quarles, a 21-year-old Oakland native, was shot and killed on April 1, 2014, in East Oakland while driving near Seminary Avenue. A passenger in the same vehicle was also struck and survived. The motive for the attack is unknown and the case remains unsolved.

Quarles attended Montera Middle School and Oakland Tech before graduating from Emiliano Zapata Street Academy in 2010. He went on to study at Tuskegee University and later Laney College, and at the time of his death was training for a career in cement masonry. He played football for Oakland Tech, helped establish a high school basketball team, and performed rap music under the name Ralow LaFlare. He is survived by his mother, sisters, and an unborn child.

Does anyone who knew Ralph or who was in that area of East Oakland on April 1, 2014, have information that could help bring justice?
