Derrion A. Thomas was 20 and a Riverside resident when he was killed on October 26, 2020, in a car-to-car shooting that began after an earlier motel confrontation. Two days before the shooting, a relative, Sharon Mayweather, had been released from the downtown Riverside jail and became intoxicated at a Motel 6, where she argued with Steven Daniel Carrillo, a documented member of the Eastside Riva gang. That encounter preceded the October 26 events.

On the night of the killing, Thomas and his cousin Isaiah Smith were driving to pick up food with Mayweather following. They had another confrontation with Carrillo; Mayweather said Carrillo had threatened her, but Thomas and Smith ushered her into their car. Carrillo pursued them, the vehicles ran through traffic lights and met in the Food4Less parking lot. Carrillo pulled alongside; Thomas fired up to 11 rounds from a semiautomatic handgun and Carrillo fired back, fatally wounding Thomas.
