Nov. 17 (UPI) -- A California district attorney on Monday announced charges against the man accused of last week's fatal shooting of John Beam, the Laney College athletic director who was featured in the Netflix series Last Chance U.
Cedric Irving Jr., 27, was charged with murder and several firearms offenses, Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson said.
"Coach Beam represents the best of Oakland," Dickson said in a statement. "Just as Coach Beam's love for community has been felt for decades, so will his loss."
Beam was a celebrated Oakland football coach known for encouraging youth, his work being highlighted in season 5 of the hit Netflix show about struggling college football athletes.
