A protest over the death of George Floyd, a black man killed last week in Minneapolis police custody, was the stage for the killing of another black man Friday in California.
Dave Patrick Underwood, 53, has been identified by family and friends as the Federal Protective Service officer shot and killed Friday night as he and a second officer worked security during a protest over the death of Mr. Floyd.
A gunman pulled up in a vehicle and began shooting at the two officers in front of the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building in Oakland. The second officer was wounded, according to the FBI.
Angela Underwood Jacobs said in a Facebook post Saturday that Officer Underwood, who lived in Pinole, California, was her brother.
“My brother, Dave Patrick Underwood, a federal officer, was murdered 5/29/20 in Oakland California, while on duty during the riots,” said Ms. Underwood. “This Violence Must Stop.”
A friend, Marva Clayton, responded to the post by saying, “I’m heartbroken for you and your family! I remember Patrick as such a sweetheart! RIP Officer Underwood!”
Ms. Jacobs is a prominent figure in California business and politics: The senior vice president at California Bank and Trust, she was the first black woman elected to the city council in Lancaster, California, according to the Los Angeles Business Journal.
She was a candidate for the Republican nomination to replace former Democratic Rep. Katie Hill, who resigned amid a sex scandal, before dropping out to give a better chance to former Republican Rep. Steve Knight. The seat was won in the May 12 special election by Republican Mike Garcia.
Acting Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli called the attack an “act of domestic terrorism,” while Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, condemned the shooting in a late Saturday statement. . . .
At least two people have died amid the protests touched off by Mr. Floyd’s death. In addition to Officer Underwood, a 21-year-old man was killed in his vehicle Friday night by a gunman in Detroit.

I am so sorry for these deaths. My prayers are with these families that the Lord with comfort them in their time of loss and sorrow. These riots are so senseless. No one is coming out a winner and sooooo much is lost. May the Lord somehow get through to these rioters that they will gain nothing doing all of this damage and are on the wrong track. They need to know the Lord. May there be revival in this USA rather than riots.
Father,
There are no words to express our sorrow, at the death of Dave. Father we repent of the ugliness of racism and anti Semitism and apathy in this nation. In the ugliness of the confusion, chaos, pandemic, and financial vulnerability we see hope! The Hope that You are awakening Your Sleeping Church to what She was called to be! We know the enemy hates this and is trying to thwart Your Church. But ,Lord God, You alone are the Holy One!, the Commander of the Lord’s Armies and Only You can help. Only You can calm and bring comfort and healing, only You can unify the broken and divided, only You can give clear direction. Man’s efforts without You are useless. Father, You are the Holy One, our El Roi Who sees all, Our Jehovah Rapha Who heals, we need You and Your wisdom desperately. to help be Your Arms, hands, and feet. Help us Lord to be the Kingdom Army, Please direct us Holy Spirit, We are asking for Your Great Mercy and forgiveness. Please give us the chance to be the nation that You covenanted 400 years ago. In the Name of Your Son, Jesus.
Amen to Mary D.’s prayer. We must pray for His return, but more importantly, serve Him until He returns or calls us home.
