Billy Joe Bean, Sr. of Lime Springs, died early Tuesday, Jan. 28, 1997, after a shooting at a rural Howard County residence, according to the Howard County Sheriff's Department. Shortly after 5 am, the sheriff's department received a call that a shooting had taken place. Officers arrived on the scene and found Bean lying on the kitchen floor of his mobile home. He was transported to Howard County Hospital and pronounced dead upon arrival. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Feb. 7 in which Billy Joe Bean, Jr. of Spillville, was charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of his father.

Attorneys representing Billy Joe Bean, Jr. intend to rely on self-defense due to significant issues of ongoing severe mental, emotional and physical abuse by the victim against his entire family, including the wife, children, and defendant, who acted for years as the family protector. Billy, Jr., age 24, is a factory worker.

The elder Billy was married to Diane Marie Soliver in 1968. They were married 25 years, then divorced. Diane recalled moving 35 times during their marriage.

Billy Joe Bean, Jr., though admitting he killed his father, was acquitted of murder charges in February 1998.
