On March 27, 2003, after aceing a college exam, Angelo, his brother and some other buddies went to celebrate Angelo's success. They were having drinks at a bar in Castro Valley, California. At some point in the evening, Angelo's brother Benny left with a female friend. Once outside, the two saw a couple arguing, so Benny asked the woman in the argument if she was okay. This started a loud verbal argument -- and Angelo came to investigate. He stepped between the unknown man and Benny to break up the argument. But Angelo's efforts only enraged the unknown man and he threatened Angelo with his gang's challenge to a fight, saying "East 7th." To Angelo, a good kid, this meant nothing, so Angelo calmly turned and walked back into the bar. The unknown man and woman left.After spending a couple more hours at the bar, Angelo left shortly after midnight with a friend. The two were driving through Castro Valley toward San Lorenzo. They were stopped at a stop sign in San Lorenzo only four blocks from Angelo's home when a 1980's Cadillac pulled up alongside them. One of the car's occupants yelled at Angelo and his friend. The two looked over at the Cadillac just as gunshots rang out. The two friends were under fire. Angelo Ravella took a bullet to the head.
Only hours later, Angelo Ravella's parents were forced to make the decision they never thought they would have to make for their fighter of a son. They decided to have doctors remove his life support. Within minutes, Angelo was dead.
Witnesses to the murder say that the shooter was a Hispanic male between 18 and 25 years old. He wore a black Watchman's cap and may have some facial hair.
Another good clue is that the shooter was not alone in the distictive 1980's Cadillac. There were anywhere from three to five other occupants in the Cadillac with him that night. Police would like to speak with anyone who drives a 1980's Cadillac or who may have been in the car with the shooter that night.
Please Help Angelo's Family find Closure, This murderer is still out there!
