Five Teenagers Arrested in Connection to Quinn Boyer's Death

Five teenagers have been arrested by Oakland police in connection to the killing of Quinn Boyer, a Dublin resident and San Jose paramedic who died April 4, the Contra Costa Times reports.

Two of the suspects are 14, two are 15 and one is 16. Their names have not been released because they are juveniles.

Boyer, 34, was shot in the Oakland Hills when a car drove up along side him at Keller Avenue and Hansom Drive in the afternoon on April 2. He was shot in the head and his Honda Civic plunged off a cliff. Boyer never regained consciousness.

Oakland police say it was a carjacking gone bad and the suspects had cut school that day. The Alameda County District Attorney could file charges against the boys as early as Wednesday.

Boyer's memorial was held Tuesday at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Oakland, the city he had grown up in.
