A large demonstration over the police killing of George Floyd was underway nearby when a man was shot and killed by another man while guarding a federal building in Oakland. Two men who are awaiting trial in a drive-by shooting met through a Facebook group dedicated to the anti-government movement and used the protest as a ruse to commit the crime.

Steven Carrillo, an Air Force sergeant, and Robert Justus Jr., an Air Force sergeant, met through a Facebook boogaloo group where they agreed to attack law enforcement officers. Messages obtained by investigators show that the men agreed to meet in person and drive to the Oakland protest, where prosecutors said Carrillo fired at the two men with a homemade assault rifle.

After he shot and killed a Santa Cruz Sheriff's sergeant and wounded four other officers, he was arrested eight days later. The man has pleaded not guilty. According to court documents, Carrillo had ties to a rightwing militia known as the Grizzly Scouts that held firearms trainings, plotted protests, and laid out terms of war against police.

Facebook promised to remove groups, accounts and pages associated with the far-right group from its services after Underwood's killing. The groups tied to the boogaloo movement persist on the platform according to the lawsuit.
