The killing of Kate Steinle by Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, a Mexican national deported from the US five times, sparked a row over illegal immigration.
While the jury cleared him of murder and manslaughter, he was convicted of illegally possessing a firearm.
President Trump described the verdict as "disgraceful".
"No wonder the people of our country are so angry with illegal immigration," he said in a pre-dawn tweet on Friday.
"His exoneration is a complete travesty of justice. BUILD THE WALL!"
President Trump also decried the fact that Garcia Zarate's immigration status was deemed irrelevant by the California judge, and was not discussed in court.
Garcia Zarate did not deny shooting Ms Steinle, but said it was not deliberate.
He faces a potential sentence of between 16 months and three years after being found guilty on the charge of being a convicted criminal in possession of a handgun.
