OAKLAND — The man suspected of killing Laney College’s legendary football coach John Beam has just been charged with enough crimes to put him in prison for at least 50 years to life, court records show.
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 alleged killed Beam on Thursday near the college’s athletics building. He 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.
Prosecutors are expected to announce the charges at a news conference scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Monday.
