We report the spectroscopic classification of ZTF20aahapgw flagged by a custom filter on the ANTARES alert-broker (https://antares.noao.edu/) as a promising stellar explosive event from the public alert stream of the ZTF survey. The optical spectrum was obtained on 2020 Feb. 15 UT with the Kast double spectrograph on the Shane 3 m telescope at Lick Observatory.
