DOJ Acknowledges Far-Right ‘Boogaloo’ Connection to Murder of Federal Security Officer, Identifies Second Suspect – By Aaron Keller (Law and Crime) / June 16 2020
The U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday announced criminal charges against two men in the shooting death of Pat Underwood, a protective security officer who was guarding the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building in Oakland, Calif. Underwood was keeping the building safe on May 29 during protests over the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. Then a white van pulled up and a passenger opened fire.
Federal prosecutors say Steven Carrillo, an Air Force Sergeant, was the gunman and that Robert Alvin Justus Jr. was the driver. Carrillo is charged with murder and attempted murder. Justus is charged with aiding and abetting.
Court documents filed in both cases allege the men had links to the far-right “Boogaloo” movement.
“When law enforcement personnel searched [Carrillo’s] 1997 van, they also located a ballistic vest. The vest had a patch on it, which is shown in the photograph below,” the documents in Carrillo’s case state. “I am informed that the symbols on the patch, including an igloo and a Hawaiian-style print, are associated with the ‘Boogaloo’ movement,” the complaining FBI special agent said.
