How Tim Beaty saved two SIU students before losing his life

TYLER DAVIS | @TDavis_DE

As gunmen opened fire at a party in Carbondale on March 27, two SIU student-athletes, frozen in fear, were caught near the crossfire. Thanks to the quick, selfless actions of Tim Beaty, those two women lived to tell the story. Beaty, a 41-year-old father, did not. Police said he was simply hit by a stray bullet. That narrative became more complex after SIU students who were with Beaty as

he died came forward with more information days after his death. “We wanted [his family to know] that he died helping somebody,” one of the students said. “That could have been me or my friend, and I take that really, really seriously. What if we weren’t there? That maybe wouldn’t have happened to him — he would have been positioned in the house totally different. I don’t want it to go out that he died in a bed just because of a stray bullet. He was a hero that night.”

But if you ask any of the people who waited in a line that stretched out the doors of Walker Funeral Home at his wake, this completely showed Beaty’s character. “What he did the other night was not something he had to think about,” his mother, Kittie McMillan, said. “It was just his nature.” The altercation that led to Carbondale’s first homicide of 2016 started shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday at a party at 402 W. Walnut St., but spilled into neighboring yards.

Police originally reported that Beaty, a popular local drummer who performed in a dozen different bands, was killed as an uninvolved bystander. But details about his final minutes alive paint the picture of a very involved man, trying to save two strangers on a night when another person had been shot just minutes earlier. “It’s important for [Beaty’s wife] Jessica and [Beaty’s 5-year-old son] Jacob to know that Tim was a hero,” McMillan said. “Anybody that knew

Tim looked at him that way anyway. Even before Easter Sunday.” Three of the five SIU studentathletes who last saw Tim Beaty alive talked to the Daily Egyptian about that night. The students, who wish to remain anonymous because of their coach’s orders, also shared their experience with police. The three seniors will be referred to as Amy, Linda and Frank. Frank explained his hesitation in coming forward with this information. Please see BEATY | 3

One of the suspects wanted in the Easter Sunday shooting that left one man dead and put another in the hospital has surrendered himself to authorities. Southeast Missouri State University student John Ingram, 21, of Webster Groves, Mo., turned himself in at the Jackson County Jail about 7 p.m. Thursday. He was arrested on two active warrants for aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated discharge of a firearm. Police responded to reports of shots fired about 2 a.m. March 27 in the 400 block of West Walnut Street. Upon arrival, Carbondale police said a large crowd of people leaving the party there. Investigating officers learned an altercation between two men at the party led to the shooting. Shots were fired inside and outside the house, police said. Tim Beaty, 41, was killed by a stray bullet in his home next door, police said during a press conference March 28. A second victim, Nehemiah Greenlee, was taken to Carbondale

Memorial Hospital for a non-life threatening injury and later transferred to a St. Louis-area hospital where he was treated, police said. Ingram is due in court Monday for a bond hearing, according to a news release from Jackson County State’s Attorney Michael Carr. A third suspect, SEMO student Travis Tyler, is still at large and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said. Tyler, 21, of Hazelwood, Mo., is wanted for two felony charges and a $1 million nationwide warrant was issued for his arrest Wednesday, Jackson County State’s Attorney Michael Carr said in a news release. Daniel Holmes, who is also wanted in connection with a shooting at Evolve Apartments at SIU on March 29, has been named a fourth suspect wanted in connection with the case. A nationwide arrest warrant was issued Friday, Carr’s office said. Tyler is suspected to be in the St. Louis area, police said, and the whereabouts of Holmes were not known as of Sunday. SEMO student Dwayne Dunn Jr., 21, of St. Louis, was the first suspect arrested and charged with reckless

discharge of a firearm in connection to this case. His bond was set at $500,000 by Judge Kimberly Dahlen on March 29 and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 21. The three SEMO students were placed on interim suspension and are not allowed on university premises pending the completion of a criminal investigation, according to a SEMO news release. The charges against Tyler and Ingram are related to injuries sustained by Greenlee. The investigation into Beaty’s death is ongoing, Carr said, and no charges had been filed as of Sunday. The Southeast Missouri Department of Public Safety and the Cape Girardeau Police Department have been assisting SIU police and the Carbondale Police Department since March 27. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the Carbondale Police Department at 618-457-3200 or Crime Stoppers at 618-549-COPS (2677).

BEATY CONTINUED FROM PAGE

"We didn't want to tell anyone until we were sure it was [Beaty]," he said. "When we saw the picture in the newspaper, we said that looks like the same person." All three said they were worried they’d be questioned as suspects, but Amy said police have not made any indication that they will be treated as such. She said she saw the first shooting inside the home where a party of easily more than 100 people was taking place for the Phi Sigma Beta graduate fraternity. After a man, later identified as Nehemiah Greenlee, was shot, and a stampede pushed the party outside, the three students estimate at least 15 to 20 more shots were fired. Linda was searching for her sister right before the gunshots began as Beaty sat on his porch watching the terror unravel. Time slowed, the trio said. Seconds felt like minutes, minutes like hours. They each heard multiple guns fired in rapid succession. "He’s the one who actually pushed us into the house," Linda said of Beaty. "The whole time he just kept tell us 'stay down, stay down, stay down,' and then all the sudden, we didn’t hear anything anymore." She said when the nearly two dozen gunshots stopped popping, the two women checked on Beaty, who had collapsed to the floor. He was still breathing but unresponsive. Linda said she was crying as her friend called for an ambulance for the long-haired rocker. She said her friend told the police dispatch at 2:11 a.m. to send an ambulance to Beaty’s home, but the person on the other end said there was already one en route. She believes the dispatcher thought they were at the home at 402 W. Walnut St., but because she did not know the address of either house, she could not verify where the ambulance was headed. Beaty was eventually pronounced dead at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale at 4:20 a.m. Sunday. Don Beaty, Tim’s father, said in such a chaotic scene, he could understand how there could have been confusion.

"I don’t know all the facts, but I talked briefly with one of the girls, because she came to the visitation," the retired math teacher said. Frank and Amy, who hid behind Beaty’s house during the shooting, ran into the home to find their friends. That’s when they saw him sprawled on the floor. "He was still breathing when I got there, for sure," Frank said. "He was moaning when I got in there." No blood was seen by any of the senior student-athletes who entered the house and searched for a wound. Amy even said when they told police about Beaty’s actions, the officer said there was minimal blood and that he was not surprised they did not know Beaty had been shot. Don Beaty said the wound his son suffered may have been too devastating regardless of medical attention. "Going off the coroner’s report, I doubt even quick action could have saved him," he said. Amy said she was told Beaty suffered a single gunshot wound to his chest. An unknown woman from the party next door would join the group and told the students she thought Beaty was simply dehydrated and needed water. With the lack of blood and more friends to meet outside, the group left the house. Even though Don Beaty said he does not think the students did anything wrong that night, leaving Tim's side is a decision each of them regrets. "He saved my friends’ lives and that means a lot to me," Amy said while fighting tears. "I just wish there was some sign that he was hurt. We had people in there helping, but I would not have hesitated to get him help if we knew [he was shot]. I just feel like we can’t bring him back, but this is our chance to kind of bring a little closure to the situation as best as we could." Frank also said he should have helped Beaty more. "I let one person say, 'Oh, he’s drunk, he needs some water,' and the fact that I didn’t see blood allowed me to just walk right out the house," Frank said putting his face into his palms. He said thinking of his own father made him speak up. "I would hate to know that if my father would have done something as

courageous as that, people would just write in the newspaper that he got hit with a stray bullet while laying in bed," Frank said. "Or my dad’s friend saying, ‘It’s not like such and such to be at a fraternity party’ when he really wasn’t even at a fraternity party. He was being genuine, being kind, being helpful." At her son’s visitation, where everyone from Carbondale Mayor Mike Henry to Beaty’s grade school teachers showed up, Beaty’s mother said she did not blame the students for their actions. McMillan, who lives in Caruthersville, Mo., understands why the athletes would leave the house and appreciates their coming out with the story. "They felt that they had to let people know,” McMillan said. “While it doesn’t make the loss of my son any easier, it kind of helps to know he didn’t die in vain. He died doing what I would have expected him to always be the one to do, which was to help somebody." Both parents said they'd miss the great father that Tim turned out to be. Don Beaty said his son had a job in electronics after getting his degree from Lincoln College of Technology following Jacob's birth. He was recently promoted at his job at EMAC Inc., and tried to see his son every day even though they did not live together, Don Beaty said. McMillan said Tim dreamed of raising his son in Carbondale. The city full of loud music, dive bars and temporary residents. The city that until his dying day, Beaty considered home, his mom said. Wherever Jacob calls home as he grows up, he will have no shortage of legendary tales of his father. McMillan said that’s fitting for a kid who idolizes the likes of Superman and Spiderman. "His daddy loved wrestling; Jacob loves all the superheroes," she said. "For a little boy who loves superheroes, it’s pretty awesome to know that your daddy was one." For Linda, Tim Beaty is much more than a hero. "He was my angel that night," she said. Tyler Davis can be reached at tdavis@ dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3398.

Drumming for the drummer

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Morgan Demling, of the band “Seamstress,” plays the drums during a memorial show for the late Tim Beaty on Saturday night at the Lost Cross house. Beaty, a local drummer who was known to strip down to his underwear while playing, was killed March 27. The show at the Lost Cross house was as a celebration of and memorial for the late drummer. Demling said he knew Beaty for 10 years. “There’s really no words to express what [Beaty] meant to me,” he said. Demling said he stripped down to his underwear for Tim.

SIU law professor, students open community center TIERRA CARPENTER | @TierraMC_

A professor in SIU’s School of Law decided he could use his experience to serve the Carbondale community. Adjunct professor James Chapman on Saturday opened a community center, the Center for Empowerment and Justice, at 215 N. Washington St., alongside The Rev. Sidney Logwood to help those who have been affected by the criminal justice system. “The center is a creation for people who live in the community, predominantly on the north, northeast side of Carbondale that desire to help people to get control of their lives through learning different skills,” said Chapman, who also co-founded the Uptown People’s

Law Center in Chicago, a similar community center that opened in 1975. Logwood said it’s important to give former prisoners a second chance. “People don’t know what it’s like inside of prisons,” Logwood said. “They figure you deserve to go, that’s why you’re there and whatever they do to you while you’re there, you deserve it. It’s not humane what they do to inmates in so many instances when they are incarcerated.” Chapman said he chose to open this community center in Carbondale because of the large amount of prisons in southern Illinois. There are about 13 prisons within 45 miles of Carbondale, according to countyoffice.org.

As the employability coordinator at SIU’s Employability Development Program, Monet Williams already helps ex-convicts obtain jobs. But her position at SIU does not allow her to meet with clients on-campus, she said. “This was a perfect win-win for both of us — that I’m able to provide that service, and they are able to provide me the space,” Williams said. She said before getting an office in the community center, she would have to meet with clients at public places, such as the library or a restaurant. The community center will also serve anyone in need of legal advice, lawyer referrals, computer literacy training, job preparation training, help getting social security benefits

and help finding affordable housing. Shannon Butler, a graduate student in social work from Carbondale, said affordable housing is scarce in this area. “If you have been in prison before it’s even harder and even more scarce than if you haven’t been in prison,” Butler said. “A lot of landlords are scared of taking on the liability of renting to someone who has a criminal background, so I try to advocate for those individuals and bridge that gap.” Butler, who has lived in Carbondale for the last 25 years, said she tries to connect ex-felons with as many resources from the community as she can. She will also help the staff of the center, keeping them educated on how to effectively work with

individuals in the community that are disadvantaged. Despite being in SIU’s social work department, graduate student Joon Kang said he never heard anything about these problems from his professors or classmates. “Students live in a different world it seems like. [There’s] SIU people. Then there’s Carbondale people,” said Kang, who works with the new community center. “SIU people generally don’t get involved in the community, and that’s a shame because we have so much great potential to be serving the community.” Tierra Carpenter can be reached at tcarpenter@dailyegyptian.com or (618)-536-3325.

Students protest budget impasse as the stalemate enters its 10th month

Anna Spoerre | @AnnaSpoerre SIU students pass by members of “Speak for Illinois” — a local group raising awareness about the state budget impasse — Friday in front of Morris Library. The volunteers asked those walking by to fill out signs that read “I need a budget because....” Thirty signs were collected in two hours.

ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre

On the nine-month anniversary of the Illinois state budget impasse, a group of students decided it’s time to rethink the higher education crisis. A small group of students stood at a table Friday outside Morris Library asking passersby if they knew about the $22,856,000 in proposed cuts to the university. Joon Kang, a graduate student in social work from Naperville, helped

organize the event through Speak for Illinois, a local group formed in March to raise awareness about the stalemate between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democraticled Legislature. The impasse has left universities and colleges without funding since July 1. The purpose of the rally Friday was to stand in solidarity with protesters in Chicago, Kang said. He said Northeastern University and University of Illinois at Chicago also held protests Friday.

Kang said it’s important to build a network across the state, but getting SIU students interested and involved is the most difficult part. “We have to be working on our message to directly educate people on why this matters to them,” he said. He is not the only person who doesn’t think enough students are involved. “I don’t think students are doing anything,” said Kyerra Henderson, a sophomore from Chicago studying psychology. “They’re not aware. I feel like a lot of students don’t

think that this matters. They don’t understand it’s a domino effect.” Juliet Fitzgibbon, a freshman from Bartlett studying plant biology, said there must be more passion and direction behind the movement. “It’s really easy for students these days to be mad and frustrated about this and then just sink their heels in the dirt and say, ‘Oh well, we won’t be able to go to school anymore,’” she said. Fitzgibbon attended a Speak for Illinois meeting Wednesday where

SIU President Randy Dunn and former Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon spoke about the budget crisis. Fitzgibbon said she was disappointed when she was one of only about 30 students in attendance. “It’s time to rethink higher education’s approach to protesting the budget stalemate,” Kang said. “It’s time to disrupt the status quo.” Anna Spoerre can be reached at aspoerre@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3325.

Man suspected in Evolve Apartments shooting now wanted in connection to Easter shooting BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

The man wanted in connection to the Evolve Apartments at SIU shooting is now suspected to have participated in an Easter shooting that left one dead and put another in the hospital. Daniel D. Holmes, 21, of Carbondale, is wanted for aggravated discharge of a firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm for alleged participation in the incident that occurred in the 400 block of West

Walnut Street about 2 a.m. Sunday. A nationwide arrest warrant was issued for Holmes on Friday and bond has been set at $750,000, according to a news release from Jackson County State’s Attorney Michael Carr. Tim Beaty, 41, was killed by a stray bullet in his home next door, police said. A second victim, Nehemiah Greenlee, was taken to Carbondale Memorial Hospital for a non-life threatening injury and later transferred to a St. Louis-area hospital where he is being treated, police said.

Holmes is the fourth suspect police have named in the case. Police began searching for Holmes following March 29 shooting at the apartment complex near campus involving a 19-year-old male victim whose identity has not been released at this time. The victim sustained a non-life threatening gunshot wound to his lower back and was transported to Carbondale Memorial Hospital for treatment, police said. Sgt. Corey Kemp of the Carbondale Police Department said

he could not comment on whether or not the incidents were connected because it would interrupt the ongoing investigation. The Southern Illinoisan reported Chief Jeff Grubbs said there was “no information to show that the two incidents are in any way connected other than Holmes’ involvement” in both of them.

Iannotti invited to Bears workout BRENT MESKE | @BrentMeske_DE

Inspired Athletes announced Friday that former Saluki quarterback Mark Iannotti has been invited to workout with the Chicago Bears.

Iannotti, who signed with Inspired Athletes on Dec. 8, has been working with Jeff Christensen who developed current Washington Redskins starter Kirk Cousins. The former Saluki finished his

collegiate career with the most passing yards, pass completions and 250-plus yard passing games during a season in school history. Iannotti is also first in SIU alltime career marks with 12 250-plus

yard games, tied for second with 46 touchdowns, third with a 60.38 completion percentage and fourth in pass completions and attempts: 474 for 785. He set the all-time total offense record, 3,911 yards, in the Missouri

Valley Football Conference. The Schaumburg native ran a 4.87 40-yard dash at his pro day. Brent Meske can be reached at bmeske@ dailyegyptian.com or at 536-3333

SIU hitting coach takes over third base box, team’s base stealing improves THOMAS DONLEY | @TDonleyDE

Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Hitting coach Ryan Strain, who also coaches third base, signals to a batter Friday during SIU’s 9-5 loss to Jacksonville State at Itchy Jones Stadium.

Southern Illinois head baseball coach Ken Henderson realized last season that he needed to make a change after more than 20 years of doing the same thing. Henderson, who has coached third base for the Salukis since 1991, decided to delegate that responsibility to hitting coach Ryan Strain. "Late in the year I made a couple mistakes," Henderson said. "I don’t know that they impacted anything, but there was a situation where we had a left-handed hitter coming up and a left-handed pitcher on the mound, and I should’ve pinch hit, but I was thinking about coaching third." Henderson said Strain makes about 90 percent of the decisions for the Saluki offense including base stealing, taking extra bases and hit-and-runs. "I feel like Strain's a little more aggressive [than Henderson], which at times is a good thing, at times it can be bad," said junior center fielder Dyllin Mucha, who is five for six in steal attempts this season after going five for seven in 2015. "I really like the aggressiveness. I think that’s given us a lot of success this year." Saluki baserunners stole 19 bases in 36 attempts in 58 games in 2015. Through 28 games this year, they have 25 steals in 36 tries.

SIU's 25 steals are tied with Dallas Baptist for third in the Missouri Valley Conference. Missouri State leads with 28. Sophomore second baseman Connor Kopach is tied for fourth in the MVC with six stolen bases. Strain said the view from the third base coach's box affords him a better angle to see what Saluki hitters are doing at the plate as opposed to watching from the top step of the dugout. "I like it better," he said. "Sometimes when I’m in the dugout as a hitting coach, I can talk with the guys. But sometimes, I'm the first one they see when they come back to the dugout after an at-bat that didn’t go well, and that’s not necessarily the best thing." SIU is batting .269 on the season with a .351 on-base percentage and .370 slugging percentage. The Dawgs slashed .249/.321/.318 with Strain in the dugout last year. Mucha said not having Strain in the dugout has its drawbacks. "After an at-bat, if you feel like something wasn’t right, you want to talk to him, but he’s not going to be there, so it’s kind of difficult sometimes," Mucha said.

Baird leading the rotation through his breakout sophomore season THOMAS DONLEY | @TDonleyDE

On March 21, 2015, Michael Baird, then a freshman relief pitcher for Southern Illinois turned in a dud of an outing, allowing four runs without retiring a single batter. Nearly a year later, he made the start of his career. Baird came within three outs of a no-hitter against Illinois on March 20, striking out four batters and walking three in a one-hit complete game shutout, continuing a dominant sophomore campaign. "Last year, one game I’d go out there and be lights-out and the next I’d be a completely different pitcher," he said. "So it’s just figuring out what stuff I have that day and how to work with it, and it’s been working." Working to the tune of a 1.88 ERA — third in the Missouri Valley Conference. Baird's 48.0 innings pitched rank first in the Valley, and he holds opponents to a .216 batting average.

While his teammates played on summer teams, Baird spent his offseason working at home to develop consistency and strength, based on instruction from pitching coach P.J. Finigan. "[I was] just fine tuning my mechanics," Baird said. "I had to get a little bigger and stronger over the summer, and slowing the game down and trying to learn how to pitch to hitters and not just throw the ball up there with whatever I thought was best." Teammates are noticing the work he put in during the summer. "He went back home to Colorado and put on about 30 pounds of muscle," said sophomore catcher Nick Hutchins, who has caught each of Baird's starts this season. "It’s been paying off." At 6-foot-5, Baird is able to deliver the ball from a higher point than most other pitchers. Finigan said that is a contributing factor in his dominance.

"It’s coming at a straight-down angle," Finigan said. "And throwing as many strikes as he is, it forces people to swing the bat." Finigan said Baird's biggest asset is his command. He has struck out three batters for each man he has walked this season, second on the team to junior righty Chad Whitmer's 3.2:1 ratio. Through his first five starts, Baird allowed one extra base hit. Baird's most recent start, March 26 against Memphis, he had his worst outing of the season. He allowed a season-high three runs on seven hits in six innings, a game that qualifies as a quality start. He has allowed three or fewer runs in each of his starts and has pitched at least six innings in his last five. Baird's out pitch is his slider — a pitch he developed three years ago. "I used to throw a curveball, but I couldn’t throw that for a strike," he said. "My pitching coach in high school

taught me the slider because I’m a maxeffort type of pitcher. The curveball, you have to locate, but with my slider, you can throw it as hard as you want, so I switched my senior year of high school." Baird said he likes to go to the slide piece, which he throws with a "sideways two seam" grip, when he has two strikes on a batter as a put-away pitch. He uses it to complement his fastball, which reaches 93 miles per hour. Baird also mixes in a changeup. Coach Ken Henderson said he does not talk to Baird on game days, allowing the lanky sophomore to maintain his intensity. "He’s extremely focused and locked in, so you don’t see a lot of emotion from him," Henderson said. "He keeps it pretty even. He’ll come into the dugout after a great inning, and guys will [say] 'good job, good job,' and he’s just in the zone. He does that with a lot of things he does. Even in practice, he’ll get zoned in, and he’s kind of

in his own little world." As a freshman, Baird struggled through the first half of his first collegiate season. He allowed four runs or more four times in his first nine appearances, including a four-run, three-hit effort March 21, 2015, in which he did not record an out against Wichita State. His ERA in those first nine games was 12.98. Starting with a four-inning relief appearance April 14, in which he allowed one run and struck out seven batters with two walks at SEMO, Baird posted a 4.39 ERA across his final nine appearances. "I struggled through the first half," he said. "I started to figure out and I realized against SEMO that I could have success here." Baird's next start is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. against Indiana State. Thomas Donley can be reached at Tdonley@Dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3307
