MARTINEZ — In January 2019, a San Pablo woman picked up a MoneyGram cash transfer from the Safeway supermarket in Rodeo, then left the store and headed home with her 5-year-old daughter.

She had no idea that a man named Damon Dixon, 24, had spotted her picking up the cash and singled her out for a robbery. When the woman arrived home, Dixon appeared, pointed a pistol at the woman’s child, and threatened to kill the girl if the woman didn’t hand over the cash, according to authorities.

Dixon and his driver, Deja Munson, 21, of Vallejo, were arrested and charged thanks in part to store surveillance cameras and license plate readers that tracked them following the victim home. Late last month, they accepted plea deals, which sentenced Dixon to 13 years in state prison and Munson to two.

“Given their involvement in the crimes — Deja was the getaway driveway and Dixon was the gunman, these prison sentences are appropriate and hopefully will make these two think twice about this behavior in the future,” deputy district attorney Chris Sansoe, who prosecuted the case, said in an interview.

The plea deal required Dixon, a Hercules resident, to admit robbery and use of a firearm in exchange for an 11-year term. As part of the plea deal, an additional two years were tacked on for Dixon’s role in an unrelated home burglary.

Munson’s plea deal, meanwhile, also resolved four other retail theft cases that she was charged in, besides the San Pablo robbery. She had been released on her own recognizance in one of those theft cases when this robbery occurred, prosecutors said.
