Contra Costa Man, 30, Shot, Killed By Concord PD Identified

CONCORD, CA – Police today identified a man shot and killed by officers Tuesday in Concord as Dominick Musulman of Antioch.

Two officers shot Musulman, 30, after he allegedly attacked another man with a hatchet at about 2 p.m. in the 2900 block of Crawford Street, according to police.

After the attack, Musulman allegedly fled on foot, shirtless, through nearby backyards and was soon found hiding in a shed behind a house in the 1400 block of San Jose Avenue near Prospect Street, just a block from
the Concord BART station.

As the officers entered the yard, Musulman came out of the shed and allegedly beat and stabbed a police dog, Jelle, with large garden shears, police said.

Musulman then reportedly turned and advanced toward the officers, who opened fire, striking him multiple times, according to Concord police spokesman Cpl. Christopher Blakely.

He was taken to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, where he died, according to police.

The victim of the hatchet attack on Crawford Street was taken to a hospital with severe injuries but is expected to survive, police said.

The police dog Jelle is also expected to recover but may be off duty for an extended period, according to police.

The two officers who shot Musulman are a man and woman who each have more than 15 years of experience with the Police Department and are both field training officers with extensive training of their own, Blakely said.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Concord police at (925) 671-3030.
