Shooting death of 13-year-old Jarrell Tucker described in court documentsThe shooting death of 13-year-old Jarrell Tucker was described by authorities this afternoon in
court documents charging Glenn Beard with his murder.
Beard, 56, was booked into jail early this morning.. Beard also faces a charge of possession of a firearm by a violent felon.
Tucker died at Riley Hospital on Monday afternoon after being shot Sunday night on North Denny Street on the Eastside.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed this afternoon in Marion Superior Court, Beard’s son told detectives that Jarrell tried to rob Beard’s brother in front of Beard’s house. Beard came out of the house to assist his brother, then punched Jarrell, according to the affidavit.
Beard’s brother then left in a car and Jarrell chased it with a brick. Jarrell returned to Beard’s back porch with another youth when Beard allegedly shot him twice, once in the head and once in the leg. “I have to go,” Beard allegedly said afterward, and fled in a red pick-up. Beard denied to police that he shot Jarrell and denied that he had a gun. He said he left the scene before the shooting.
Beard has a past criminal record. He was released from the Indiana Department of Correction last September after serving about two years of a six-year sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious felon. According to online DOC records, the Marion County conviction was for a Class B felony, just below the most serious Class A felony category.
Beard's record also includes a 1985 knife fight over a motorcycle that left another man dead and Beard critically injured. Beard and several others later were indicted on reckless homicide and other charges.
Beard also was sentenced to prison terms in 1989 for B-felony dealing drugs and in 1993 for D-felony possession of marijuana.
