Giacomelli, a 23-year veteran of the Pittsburg Police Department and a homicide inspector for the past 10 years, received numerous awards throughout his career including the Silver Medal of Valor, Chief Baker said.

Giacomelli, who lived in Brentwood, leaves behind a wife and two daughters.

Law enforcement from around Contra Costa County, including the sheriff's office, the district attorney's office and the Pittsburg Police Department have launched a massive effort to identify and find whoever is responsible.

"We will spare no resource," said Lt. Dan Terry of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office.

Pittsburg should is a horrible place to grow up. Left as soon as I turned 18.

Those who know it will agree that it has a Evil vortex hovering above it.
