A 27-year-old man has been charged with murder in the death of "Last Chance U" star John Beam ... officials announced Monday.

According to court docs, Cedric Irving Jr. admitted to shooting Beam at Laney College in Oakland on Thursday ... and had the handgun used in the disgusting act in his possession at the time of his arrest at the San Leandro BART station at 3 AM the next morning.

Beam was shot in the head and rushed to a nearby hospital ... but tragically, he died from the injuries he sustained.

Jack Doherty is spilling on his Miami arrest ... telling TMZ the whole thing was so mind-numbingly boring, he’s actually calling it the worst day of his life.

The embattled influencer tells TMZ it was a brutal slog -- first stuck in a tiny cell with a cop for five hours, then shuffled off for a mugshot and fingerprints ... before spending another 10 hours in a big holding room where he could finally make some calls.

The day didn’t even end there ... the 22-year-old says he got thrown into yet another cell, took a nap, and then got jolted awake by guards who, he claims, were super nice -- even telling him TMZ had already posted his mugshot -- before letting him finally go.

Rough Sunday for Shedeur Sanders -- not only was his NFL debut less than stellar, but police confirm to TMZ Sports his Ohio home was burglarized during the game.

Law enforcement said the break-in occurred while the NFL rookie quarterback took over for starter Dillon Gabriel, who suffered a concussion midway through the loss to the Ravens.

Police said no further details are being released at this time.

The executor of O.J. Simpson's estate, Malcolm Lavergne, stopped by "TMZ Live" Monday and admitted the estate doesn't have enough to cover Fred Goldman's $57 million creditor claim ... but he says they'll pay what they can.

Lavergne told us bluntly, "The reality is the estate currently doesn't have that kind of money and, practically, the estate probably will never have that kind of money."

So why did the estate accept the multimillion-dollar settlement? Lavergne explained it isn't based on how much Simpson's estate can afford, but whether the claim itself is valid.

The shooting of N.Y. Jets defensive back Kris Boyd appears to have been caught on video ... with the footage showing a group of men fighting in the streets before two gunshots ring out, leaving the 29-year-old in critical condition.

The clip was posted to social media Monday morning, and it shows just how chaotic the scene was around 2 AM on Sunday as the violent incident unfolded in the heart of New York City.

Moments later, gunshots are heard, sending both combatants and bystanders scurrying away from the scene. It's believed at least one of those shots struck Boyd in the abdomen.

11/17/2025 11:28 AM PT -- A rep for the Goldman family tells TMZ ... "The Executor’s acceptance of the claim is a positive acknowledgement of the debt; however, it does not constitute payment. This acceptance simply allows the administration of the claim to move forward in probate. We will continue to monitor the probate process as it progresses.”

O.J. Simpson's estate seems one step closer to paying Fred Goldman money he's owed for winning his wrongful death lawsuit years ago ... because the estate's accepted a multimillion-dollar settlement.

Malcolm LaVergne -- the Simpson estate executor -- filed court documents earlier this week in which he accepts Fred's creditor claim in the "amount of $57,997,858.12 (U.S.), plus judgment interest on the approved amount."

Goldman originally asked for north of $117 million ... but, LaVergne argues that -- despite what he sees as a good faith effort on Goldman's part to determine an accurate amount -- the interest hasn't been calculated correctly.

The New York City Police Department has released images of the suspect wanted in the shooting of New York Jets defensive back Kris Boyd Sunday morning ... which left him fighting for his life in a hospital.

Cops are asking the public for help in tracking down the man who fled the scene after he allegedly shot Boyd in the gut while he was leaving a restaurant in the heart of Manhattan.

The suspect was last seen wearing a black cap, black sweatshirt, black pants, multi-colored sneakers and a black book bag.

According to police, the shooting happened around 2 AM on West 38th Street, only blocks from Times Square.

9:13 AM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Rick Hilton was physically in the home at the time of the break-in. We're told he is okay and wasn't harmed.

The homes of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" stars Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke were both burglarized Saturday while they were away at BravoCon, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... at around 2 PM Saturday, Sutton's dogwalker called 911 and said the kitchen window was broken. Cops came and took a police report. We don't know if anything was taken.

The more alarming incident was on Saturday night ... Rick Hilton called 911 and said there were 3 burglars inside the family home. Cops came, but apparently the burglars had escaped. Again, we don't know if anything was taken.

Boosie Badazz says Diddy should've held it together after he was found guilty in his federal trial ... tearing into the dude for not being manly enough when the verdict came down.

The rapper sat down for an interview on "The Breastfast Club" Friday ... and, he talked about his relationship to the disgraced music mogul -- revealing the two haven't spoke in a long time despite their friendly relationship in the past.

Boosie says he wants to talk to the guy though ... because he thinks it was a total coward move to cry after the jury read out the verdict in his federal sex trafficking case.

Famous YouTuber and content creator Jack Doherty has been arrested in the Miami area, TMZ can confirm.

He was cuffed by Miami Beach Police outside a smoke shop and booked into Florida's Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center just before 9 AM on 3 charges -- possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest.

Specifically, cops say he was in possession of Amphetamine -- a medication used to manage ADHD and narcolepsy -- and less than 20 grams of weed.

Video of his arrest shows him arguing with police.

Jack Doherty was more worried about his bling than he was about heading down to the local jail ... begging cops to let him give his watch to a friend while they were slapping cuffs on him.

We've obtained footage from Jack's Saturday morning arrest ... and it kicks off with Doherty stopping next to a police car and getting searched in the middle of the street.

His friends are filming the interaction ... but they're quickly moved aside by cops who tell them they can step onto the curb or step into a pair of handcuffs just like Doherty. Unsurprisingly, they all choose the sidewalk.

5:15 PM PT -- Patrick Beverley has spoken out since news broke of his arrest, saying via social media ... "Please don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Hope all is well LUV."

Letitia Quinones-Hollins, attorney for Patrick, tells TMZ in a statement ... "Patrick Beverley has no criminal record. He cares deeply about his little sister – a young lady, a minor. Given that, when he unexpectedly found her alone in the home with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night, he was understandably concerned, as any brother would be about his sister. However, we don’t believe what followed happened the way it’s been described and we look forward to the opportunity to address that in court."

Several paps were waiting for Madden -- who appeared on Season 8 of the hit singing competition show -- and they asked him if he had anything to say for himself in regards to his legal predicament.
