Carrillo, who was charged with the murder of Underwood and the attempted murder of another federal protective officer who was injured, has pleaded not guilty. The two men allegedly exchanged messages where they discussed targeting "soup bois," slang for federal law enforcement officers, and shared a video of a large crowd violently attacking two California Highway Patrol vehicles. Angela Underwood Jacobs is connecting all of these threads to sue Facebook for wrongful death, seeking damages in excess of $25,000. In a statement released upon the filing of the lawsuit, Jacobs said, "Facebook bears responsibility for the murder of my brother. ... Facebook knowingly promoted inflammatory and violent content and connected the extremists who plotted and carried out the killing of my brother."
