"Cedric Irving Jr., 27, was charged with murder and an enhancement alleging he personally discharged a firearm, along with additional enhancements for allegedly targeting a vulnerable victim and causing great bodily harm, court records show. Irving, a Skyline High graduate, was arrested just hours after he killed Beam on the college campus where Irving was known to loiter, according to police."
"Irving allegedly shot Beam, 66, shortly before noon Thursday, inside Laney's Field House, an athletic facility housing the college's administrative offices and other facilities near Fifth Avenue and East Eighth Street, police and multiple sources said. He was rushed to a hospital, placed on life support, and his death was announced Friday morning. Irving was arrested at the San Leandro BART station on Friday morning, following an intense manhunt that involved a huge police presence on campus."
"The homicide came a day after the longtime coach who garnered national fame five years ago from the Netflix show Last Chance U raised concerns to Laney leaders about safety on the college's four campuses, including at the Field House where he was mortally wounded. Authorities have not yet released a suspected motive. Irving is being held at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin without bail, with his first court appearance set for Tuesday, records show."
