3. Pittsburg man gets 25 years for shooting where father of two was killed by stray bullet (eastbaytimes.com) — A Concord youth baseball coach and father of two killed by a stray bullet in 2025 has received some measure of justice, as the Pittsburg man charged in the case accepted a 25-year plea deal. Concord police say the victim was not the intended target, and the Concord Junior Giants have continued rallying support for his family through fundraising efforts.
