Chicago - Mandeep Bedi’s wife was trying to merge into traffic on the South Side, but another driver pulled up and began to curse at her.

Elizabeth Bedi drove away from the 9 am dust-up Aug. 19, with her husband in the passenger seat, a source said.

But the other driver didn’t let it go, chasing the Naperville couple.

Then, not far from the University of Chicago campus where Elizabeth Bedi is a student and Mandeep Bedi was an IT employee, the cars stopped and both women got out of their cars, police said.

They argued before the other driver went back to her car, put it in reverse and came at the Bedis, police said.

Mandeep Bedi, 23, tried to protect his wife, but the silver two-door hit them both, police said.

Elizabeth Bedi, 21, was injured. Mandeep Bedi, who a source said was “completely run over” by the angry driver, was injured worse. He was hospitalized with severe head trauma and died from his injuries Thursday afternoon at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital, officials said.

His death was officially ruled a homicide Friday.

“This is an incredibly painful loss for our community,” said Kimberly Goff-Crews, University of Chicago’s Vice President for Campus Life and Dean of Students in the University. “Mandeep has been a bright presence on campus, concerned for his fellow students, intellectually engaged, and committed to helping his colleagues. We will all honor his memory.

“On behalf of Dean John Boyer and the University community, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Mandeep Bedi,” Goff-Crews said. “We are especially concerned for our student, Elizabeth Bedi, and we are offering any guidance and assistance she might need in this terribly difficult time.”

The road rage homicide happened in the 300 block of East Garfield Boulevard. The other driver took off and was not in custody Friday night.

Mandeep Bedi received an undergraduate degree in anthropology from University of Chicago in 2010.

He continued to work on campus as a sales intern for the university’s IT Services Solution Center, the school said in a statement.

Elizabeth Bedi is a fourth-year anthropology student. She was treated for her injuries and released.

A university-issued obituary released Friday noted: “Many of Mandeep Bedi’s colleagues and friends recalled his eagerness to serve others and create a welcoming atmosphere. In 2009, he taught two courses to Chicago high school students – one on the politics of soccer and another on contemporary freedom of speech.

“Bedi’s volunteer effort was organized by Splash! Chicago, a student-run organization that gives UChicago students a chance to design and teach short classes every fall.”

“He made everyone feel at home,” said Kevin Brooks, sales manager of the IT Services Solution Center, who oversaw Bedi’s work there. Brooks, in the university obituary, said that when Bedi started work at the computing sales and service center, he would offer patrons coffee when they entered.

“He was just an engaging personality,” Brooks said. Bedi started working at the Solution Center in 2009, and continued his work after graduation as he considered pursuing graduate studies, Brooks said.

Bedi’s previous campus job was as a residential computing assistant, where he helped students and staff in residence halls with their computing problems. Richard J. Mason, director of operations and communications for Housing and Dining Services, said Bedi was “a very sensitive and compassionate person.”

An avid fan of the English soccer team Arsenal, Bedi had an academic interest in the anthropology of urban graffiti, Brooks said.

“We wanted to keep him in our office as long as we could, because he made an incredible impact here,” Brooks said.

 

 

Sept. 1, 2011 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Family and friends gathered Thursday on the campus of the University of Chicago to remember Mandeep Bedi.

The 23-year-old, an apparent victim of road rage, was run down on a South Side street. Chicago police are still searching for the driver responsible for his death.

The victim's wife, 21-year-old Liz Bedi, is speaking for the first time about her husband and the incident that lead to his death

It's really hard to accept that I don't get to have a family with him. That's been one of the hardest things for me," said Liz Bedi. "I don't think anyone has the capability of loving like he does."

Mandeep Bedi died young, but loved ones say his life was as vibrant as a wall of remembrance filled with bright graffiti that honors him.

"I woke up this morning, and it was the first time I woke up with a smile on my face since it happened because I knew that today was all about him," she said.

It was last month in Washington Park when Bedi and his wife Liz were involved in a roadside incident. Police say an unidentified female driver began following the Bedis. She was apparently angry after they had merged into traffic. When the Bedis pulled over and left their car, police say there was a confrontation and the woman ran over the couple.

"I would obviously prefer to see her behind bars, but my concern is honoring Mandeep," said Liz Bedi. "It's hard to accept no matter what, but it's even harder to know that this was entirely senseless."

Mandeep Bedi survived for a week before succumbing to his injuries.

"It's just like a shock. You can't really say anything else about it. It was just devastating," said Matthias Dean-Carpentier, friend. "He was loud and ostentatious and really, really happy all the time. And there aren't really that many people like that."

The Bedis were married less than a year and a half ago and he was an anthropology graduate from the University of Chicago. His senior thesis studied the nuances of urban graffiti. Liz hopes to get it published in his honor.

"He was always someone who wanted increased tolerance and love between people of difference and he saw hip hop as a way to do that and graffiti," she said.

On Thursday, friends filled a makeshift graffiti wall with symbols of his other passions, including the English soccer team Arsenal.

Bedi's mantra was "b e-z," a phrase about accepting what life presents, something his loved ones now struggle with.

"The love that Mandeep and I shared is never going to go away. That's really what's doing it for me right now," said Liz Bedi. "The knowledge that we had those 17 months...I really believe that I will always be the luckiest woman to have gotten to experience that."

The Medical Examiner has ruled Bedi's death a homicide. Liz Bedi says the incident happened so quickly that she didn't get a look at the license plate. Police have not released a description of the vehicle.
