Former Air Force sergeant sentenced to 41 years for fatal drive-by shooting at courthouse

A former Air Force staff sergeant and alleged member of an alt-right anti-government movement was sentenced to 41 years in prison for a fatal drive-by shooting outside a federal courthouse in Oakland in 2020.

Steven Carrillo, 34, pleaded guilty to federal murder and attempted murder charges. He previously had pleaded not guilty to the charges but changed his plea after prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty.

In his plea agreement, Carrillo said he aligned himself “with the anti-government movement and wanted to carry out violent acts against federal law enforcement officers in particular,” prosecutors said in a release.
