Martinez, California – On December 16th, a Union City woman was arraigned in Contra Costa Superior Court in Martinez on a five-count felony complaint for attempted murder, stalking, child abuse, and criminal threats.
40-year-old Xiaojie Zhang entered a plea of not guilty in court for the attempted murder of a John Doe minor in San Ramon. The minor suffered a non-life-threatening injury after Zhang fired on the boy using a handgun on or about November 23rd.
Zhang is also being charged with one count of stalking another, confidential victim and making criminal threats on or about the same date as the shooting.
The charges of attempted murder, stalking, and child abuse come with enhancements for intentionally discharging a firearm to cause great bodily injury, as well as the use of a firearm in commission or attempted commission of the offense.
Zhang waived her right to a preliminary hearing within 10 days of being charged, so a date for the hearing has not been set yet. She remains in custody at the Martinez Detention Facility on a $1,675,000 bond.
