Former IU Football Player Chris Beaty Dies at 38 After Being Shot amid Protests

Former Indiana football player Chris Beaty was one of two men shot and killed in Indianapolis this past weekend amid riots in the city, according to David Lindquist and Justin L. Mack of the Indy Star.

Indianapolis was one of the dozens of United States cities holding protests this week after an unarmed African American, George Floyd, was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis. The protest within Indianapolis became violent after a clash with local police officers.

Beaty suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
