Shafi Qasimi, 25, of Concord was found dead in the Oakland Hills on May 8, 2022. Medical investigators determined he had been shot in the head on May 5, 2022. Qasimi, who had been transient, was involved in an earlier altercation at a homeless camp near the Willow Pass Road corridor in Concord.

Authorities say the fight escalated when 28-year-old transient Guadalupe Jose Robles believed Qasimi had used bear spray on Robles’ friend and threatened to spray Robles as well. Robles and two others followed Qasimi, and Robles was handed a small handgun that he used to shoot Qasimi. Robles and accomplices then placed Qasimi’s body in a stolen vehicle and transported it to the Grizzly Peak area, where a sightseer discovered the body wrapped in clear plastic on May 8.

The handgun used has not been recovered. Does anyone have information about Qasimi, the Concord homeless camp, or the events on or around May 5, 2022?
