A man mortally wounded during an altercation in a Bennett Way home has been identified by county coroner’s officials.
Deputies said Thomas Arellano, 31, died of stab wounds inflicted during a struggle inside a residence in the 3000 block of Bennett Way the evening of January 22.

A suspect in Arellano’s murder reportedly fled the household prior to the arrival of police. It was Concord’s first reported homicide in 2022.
