On May 4, the Antioch Police Department and Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff arrested a murder suspect in a Richmond homicide.
According to the Antioch Police Department, on May 4 at 12:28 pm, a Contra Costa County Detective called dispatch and asked for Code 3 cover for a murder suspect who possibly barricaded himself inside of a house in the 900 block of Hawthorne Avenue.
Antioch Police officers arrived on scene where 44 year old Andre Villedrouin walked out of the house just after the arrival. Contra Costa Detectives took custody of Villedrouin.
According to an April 21 press release by the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff, detectives were investigating the killing of a 47-year-old Kimberly Hoglund of East Richmond Heights.
On April 13, 2016, it was brought to the attention of the Office of the Sheriff that Hoglund was missing and that foul play may be involved. Detectives served a search warrant on a home in East Richmond Heights and discovered a possible crime scene, but did not locate Hoglund.
The next morning, Detectives detained a suspect, who was later arrested and booked into the Martinez Detention Facility. 37-year-old Dylan Reese of El Sobrante is being held on homicide and assault with a deadly weapon charges; his bail was set at $1.3 million.
Detectives and Crime Lab personnel searched a home on Appian Way in El Sobrante in an effort to locate Hoglund. On Tuesday, the body of Hoglund was found in a shallow grave on the property. Detectives say Hoglund was last seen on March 28, 2016 and likely died shortly thereafter. Her family filed a missing persons report on her on April 12, 2016.
The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office yesterday filed formal homicide charges against Reese and a second suspect, 43-year-old Andre Villedrouin of Richmond, who was considered outstanding until May 4.
