The order to shoot Jacoby came from way up
In the first season of Peter Gunn, Lt. Jacoby is gunned down on the street after getting a tip from a hood working for racketeering boss Vincent Donniger. Following the shooting, Peter Gunn visits Jacoby in the hospital and is shadowed by the hood as he leaves. Mother, who appears to be an associate of Gunn's, informs him that she has figured out that the order to shoot Jacoby came from "way up".
Gunn then visits Alfie Hicks, a locksmith who witnessed the shooting, but is too scared to come to the police headquarters. Gunn convinces Sergeant Johnny Davis to let him take the mug books to Alfie's shop. However, when he returns, Alfie is found lying on the floor, near death.
Gunn is then forced at gunpoint to talk to Donniger, who tells him, "you're no bigger than a bullet". Gunn brushes this off, saying "a hood's always a hood". During another visit to Jacoby in the hospital, Gunn wonders who would want him dead. Jacoby suggests that if anyone on the force would deal with Donniger, it would be Capt. Ben Loomis.
Loomis tells Gunn that Jacoby was likely shot because he was going to be promoted by the District Attorney to take over the case against Donniger, and the gangster knew that, unlike Loomis, Jacoby could not be bought. After a tip-off about a suspicious car, Gunn and Loomis arrive at the hospital to find a gunfight in progress. Donniger's thug is shot dead just as he is about to enter the hospital, but unfortunately, Loomis is also fatally injured in the crossfire.

Jacoby couldn't be bought
Lt. Jacoby was in hospital on Peter Gunn after being gunned down on the street. He had received a tip from a hood working for racketeering boss Vincent Donniger and was shot after leaving the police station to meet the hood outside.
Gunn visited Jacoby in the hospital and wondered who wanted him dead. It was likely that Jacoby was targeted because he was going to be promoted by the District Attorney to take over the case against Donniger, and the gangster knew that, unlike Capt. Ben Loomis, Jacoby could not be bought.
Loomis, who had been taking bribes from Donniger for years, told Gunn that Jacoby was shot because he couldn't be bribed or influenced by the gangster. This is in contrast to Loomis, who had been taking bribes from Donniger for years, trying to make enough money to let his daughter, who was taking care of him after the death of his wife, leave home.
Jacoby's integrity and commitment to his duty as a police officer are evident in this episode. Despite the potential consequences, he was willing to take on a powerful and dangerous criminal like Donniger, knowing that he could not be deterred or corrupted. This makes him a valuable asset to the force but also puts him in danger, as seen in this episode where he is shot and hospitalised.
