Patrolman Joseph Sturm was shot and killed during a riot which started when a mob of angry citizens stormed the city jail in an attempt to hang a convict. The citizens were upset because the man was sentenced to 20 years for his crime instead of being sentenced to death.

Patrolman Sturm was survived by his wife.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 125th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.
