By Ashley Moore, San Ramon Police Department
On Monday, Nov. 24, 2025, San Ramon Police arrested a Union City woman in connection with the November 23rd shooting of a 17-year-old on Talavera Drive.
On November 23, 2025, at approximately 6:18 p.m., officers from the San Ramon Police Department responded to Talavera Drive for a report of an injured 17-year-old. Upon arrival, San Ramon Valley Fire personnel and officers found the juvenile with a single gunshot wound to the upper shoulder. The victim was immediately transported to a local hospital, received medical treatment, and was later released.
Throughout the course of the investigation, patrol officers and detectives identified the suspect as Xiaojie Zhang, a 40-year-old female resident of Union City (born 1/20/1985). San Ramon officers arrested Zhang at her home on a $1 million Ramey Warrant for attempted homicide, and she was booked at the Martinez Detention Facility. While we are not revealing the relationship between the victim and the suspect, we can confirm that the two were known to one another.
Following her arrest, San Ramon Police Department detectives executed a search warrant of Zhang’s residence, where they located two firearms. This remains an active and ongoing investigation. There is no continued threat to the San Ramon community, and our heartfelt thoughts are with the victim and his family.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Detective T. Bryan at (925) 973-2782 or at tbryan@sanramon.ca.gov.
Thank you to the Danville, Dublin, and Union City Police Departments for their assistance.

Something is not right. A three million dollar bail for shooting someone she knows. I mean there are many types of real murders of unknown people and they get off with no bail. Something is missing here.
