Overview
- Prosecutors filed a murder count with enhancements for personally firing a gun causing death and for a particularly vulnerable victim, exposing Irving to a potential 50 years to life in prison.
- A probable-cause affidavit states Irving provided a statement to investigators confessing to the killing and claiming ownership of the handgun seized at arrest.
- Surveillance from campus, nearby locations and public transit helped identify the suspect before his early Friday arrest at the San Leandro BART station, where a firearm was recovered.
- District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson said the gun was registered to Irving, who is being held without bail, has no criminal record and is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday.
- Police describe the attack as targeted by someone who knew Beam, with no motive publicly identified as the DA also reinstates mandatory minimums for gun possession cases following recent school-area shootings.
