DA Charges Oakland Man with Murder of Antioch Woman
Martinez, California – The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office has charged an Oakland man with the murder of a 20-year-old Antioch woman.
Zahvon Hopson, 22, was arraigned today on a three-count criminal complaint stemming from the shooting death of Dimon Lasly Commodore. The charges include murder, possession of a firearm by a felon with a prior conviction, and unlawful firearm activity. The murder charge carries an enhancement for personally and intentionally discharging a firearm causing great bodily injury and death. The unlawful firearm activity count includes special allegations citing prior offenses in Contra Costa and Alameda counties.
On the evening of February 19, 2026, Antioch Police Department officers responded to a 911 call at the 2200 block of Sycamore Drive at approximately 7:17 pm. They arrived to find the victim suffering from two gunshot wounds. Despite life-saving efforts, she died at the scene.
Hopson fled before officers arrived. Following an extensive search, he was located in San Diego and arrested on April 10, 2026, with the assistance of local law enforcement.
Currently held at the Martinez Detention Facility on $2,190,000 bail, Hopson pleaded not guilty at today’s arraignment, denied all charges, allegations, and enhancements, and waived his right to a speedy trial. A preliminary hearing date is pending.
