A 27-year-old Skyline high school alumnus, frequently seen lingering near Laney College, has been taken into custody in connection with the fatal shooting of Oakland football coach John Beam.
Police identified the suspect as Cedric Irving Jr, who was apprehended before dawn at the San Leandro, California, Bart station, ending an urgent search for the individual believed responsible.
The killing occurred one day after Beam, who became widely recognized following his appearance on the Netflix series Last Chance U five years ago, raised concerns to Laney College administrators regarding campus safety. His comments referenced all four Laney campuses, and included the field house, the location where he was fatally shot.
