A man fatally shot Monday afternoon in Concord has been identified by the Contra Costa County coroner’s office as 39-year-old Michael Olsen.
Olsen, a Concord resident, was found after officers responded around 12:40 p.m. to a report of gunfire in the 2300 block of Stanwell Drive, just north of Concord Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Concord police announced Tuesday morning that Pleasant Hill resident Harminder Singh Aujla has been arrested in connection with the killing of Olsen.
Police said the shooting was not random or gang-related, and no other suspects are believed to be at large.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Detective Kevin Giacoletto at (925) 671-3040 or an anonymous tip line at (925) 603-5836.
RIP
Suspect was described as hispanic in original comments.
Guess witnesses were wrong.
The name “Harminder Singh Aujla” suggests India or Pakistan.
“Described as” vs “is” are two different angles….
Especially during chaos and quick moments, a person described as Hispanic and be similar in appearance to Asian, Native American, Indian, Pakistani, Persian even……
@Kirkwood-
The middle name is the dead giveaway. Singh is an extremely common middle name for practitioners of the Sikh religion. Sikhism is predominate in the northern Indian state of Punjab (near Kashmir). Sikh first names also often end in “inder”.
@JJ-
It is pretty easy to confuse a Latino with an Indian (or George Hamilton). All usually are associated with dark hair and tanned skin.
Also described as wearing a white shirt or black shirt.
Guess witnesses were just SWAGing it.
Prof. – Sounds reasonable, I sat next to a Sikh on a plane once and we talked at length about his lifestyle. Although he showed me his business card I didn’t remember the name. I never saw a person I recognized as a Sikh who was not wearing an often brightly colored turban.

Most hate crime going on right now is against white people .
The police never give out all the information they have because it can hinder their investigation.
“Most hate crime going on right now is against white people”
And street graffiti.
Well, they caught him. So that description, even it didn’t help, doesn’t seem to have hurt.
Good job CONCORD POLICE! I’m sure the liberals aren’t happy though. They want to defund what you did. Can’t fix stupid.
And my condolences to Mr. Olsen’s family.
Why put a political spin on this sad event? I am a liberal and am tough on crime so stop saying liberals are this and that. Sick of name calling!
Your comments create division. Let’s be nice 👍!
Liberals don’t want to defund things like this. Get a grip and stop lightening to talking heads who tell you what to think.
Racist, racist, racist. Everything is racist nowadays …. you can’t even open your mouth to say a word anymore….. Unless it’s things said against white people.
Nice work, CPD!
My Indian friend works at the company. The alleged shooter was fired and came back to shoot the boss.
