Concord Police Ask For Help Finding Stabbing Suspect

Members of the public are being asked to aid police in the investigation of an stabbing that occurred at Bonfare Market on Grant Street last Wednesday.

Police are attempting to locate a man who allegedly stabbed two customers at the Concord gas station at around 8:45 p.m. July 10. John David Gleason, Jr., 21, has been identified as a suspect in the attempted homicide, according to police.

Two men were fueling their car with gas at the business when a group of men approached and asked if they were gang members, police said.

Police said one of the suspects, later identified as Gleason, suddenly pulled a knife and started stabbing both men without provocation.

The suspects fled the scene before officers arrived and the two victims were taken to John Muir Medical Center with wounds that did not appear to be life-threatening.

There is an active warrant for Gleason's arrest.

Police said he has ties to Concord, Bay Point, Pittsburg, Antioch and possibly western Alameda County.

He remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees him is asked to call police immediately.

Those with tips about Gleason's whereabouts are asked to call Concord police Det. Nakayama at (925) 671-3478 or the Anonymous Tip Line at (925) 603-5836.
