Family identifies federal officer shot, killed in connection with George Floyd protest in Oakland
https://abc7news.com/officers-shot-oakland-shooting-federal-building/6221576/
The family and friends of the Federal Protective Service officer who was shot and killed at the Federal Building in Oakland Friday night have confirmed his identity to ABC7 I-Team's Dan Noyes. The victim is 53-year-old Patrick Underwood of Pinole, Calif.
According to the 53-year-old's loved ones, he worked for the same company that has a contract with the Department of Homeland Security for nine years. His sister, Angela Underwood Jacobs, confirmed Underwood died on Friday night. Angela Jacobs posted on her Facebook page saying,"My brother, Dave Patrick Underwood, a federal officer, was murdered 5/29/20 in Oakland California, while on duty during the riots. This Violence Must Stop."
Her spokeswoman told Noyes that Ms. Jacobs would issue a statement about her brother's passing on Sunday; she is too distraught to comment now.
A friend who knew Underwood from middle school, but did not want to be identified, released this quote, "Patrick was one of the kindest souls I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. A man full of empathy and compassion whose smile would light up a room. Humbleness and humility were his two greatest assets. The world needs him and more like him,especially in these troubling times."
