John Beam, the longtime Laney College football coach featured in Netflix’s “Last Chance U,” has died after being shot at the Laney College fieldhouse in Oakland. Police arrested a 27-year-old suspect but have not identified a motive. Authorities say the suspect knew Beam but that they did not have a relationship. Beam, who retired from coaching last year and became the school’s athletic director, is survived by his wife, two daughters and granddaughters.
