Former Laney College football coach and current athletic director John Beam died Friday after being shot the day before on the school's Oakland campus, police said.

A renowned former community college football coach in Northern California, whose championship team starred in a Netflix series, was shot on campus, police said.

Over the last 12 months, Beam, who remained Laney’s athletic director, was often seen at various sporting events around Oakland, and not just the big Silver Bowl football championship.
