Chris Beaty, who played football at Indiana from 2000-04, was shot and killed during protests in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday night. He was 38.
He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. It was one of several shootings that took place in the city as part of protests over the death of George Floyd.
Beaty, a defensive lineman for the Hoosiers, had remained close to the football program. He owned his own promotions company, Fresh Marketing, and several nightclubs.
Beaty had recently launched the company, Worldwide Masks, which sold face masks for safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
