As to both defendants: the jury found the Special Circumstance of Multiple Murders true as to both defendants on Counts 1 and 2 and to defendant Bey on Court 4. Background During the two and a half month long trial, Deputy District Attorney Melissa Krum presented the testimony of over 60 witnesses and introduced into evidence 175 exhibits. Defendant Yusuf Bey IV, 25, is the son of Yusuf Bey Sr., the founder of the now-defunct Your Black Muslim Bakery. In addition to being a once-thriving business, the establishment was a religious organization with a distinctly militant structure. The elder Bey died in 2003, leaving operation of the business to Waajid Aljawwaad Bey a spiritually-adopted son. Following Waajid’s death 2004, Antar Bey, one of Bey Sr.'s biological sons, immediately assumed power. The bakery's financial health quickly declined under Antar, who drove the organization into debilitating debt. Murder of Odell Roberson, July 8, 2007 At the age of 19, defendant Yusuf Bey IV assumed the position of CEO in late 2005 after Antar was murdered in a carjacking. Alfonzo Phillips Jr. was later tried and convicted of Antar's murder. In mid-2007 defendant Bey instructed 19-year-old bakery followers Devaughndre Broussard and Antoine Mackey to kill Phillips Jr.'s father in retaliation. When the men were unable to determine the elder Phillips' comings and goings, defendant Bey switched his focus to Odell Roberson, the younger Phillips' uncle. During the 2007 Fourth of July weekend defendant Bey ordered Broussard to kill Mr. Roberson when he got the chance. Just after midnight on July 8, 2007, Broussard and Mackey were on walking patrol of the bakery neighborhood -- tasked with ridding the neighborhood of drugs and prostitution -- when they ran into Mr. Roberson. Mackey was armed with an SKS assault rifle. Broussard asked Mackey for the gun and Mackey passed it, no questions asked. Broussard fired seven times at close range, killing Roberson. Murder of Michael Wills, July 12, 2007 In the early morning hours of July 12, 2007, defendants Bey and Mackey were together in Bey's car. The defendants were talking about the Zebra Killings -- a series of murders allegedly committed by a group of African American men on white victims in San Francisco in the 1970s -- when they saw Michael Wills, a white man, walking on San Pablo Avenue. Bey pulled around the corner and Mackey got out and shot Mr. Wills to death with nine shots from the same SKS assault rifle Broussard used to kill Mr. Roberson. The defendants returned to the duplex where Mackey and Broussard lived and bragged to Broussard about the killing. A few days after the Wills murder, defendant Bey spoke to a group of the bakery men about the history of the Zebra Killings, saying they were retaliation for lynchings. Bey opined that the men were “giving [the white victims] a taste of their own medicine.” Murder of Chauncy Bailey, August 2, 2007 Bey held a grudge against Chauncey Bailey, a career reporter and then-editor of the Oakland Post newspaper. Bey blamed Mr. Bailey for his father's death -- claiming articles Mr. Bailey wrote detailing the elder Bey's pending felony charges of molesting underage girls at the bakery increased the man's stress to an unhealthy level. In addition, Bey had recently found out that Mr. Bailey was writing what Bey called another "slanderous" article about the bakery and Bey. Indeed, one of older members of Yusuf Bey Sr.'s regime, incensed over what he and others perceived to be the fraudulent way in which Antar and defendant Bey came to power, as well as concerned over the the decline of the bakery and defendant Bey's numerous criminal activities, had become Chauncey Bailey's source for an exposé on defendant Bey and the bakery. A day or two before Mr. Bailey's murder, Bey told Broussard and Mackey to find out where Mr. Bailey lived. The two men cased out the Post office in downtown Oakland and followed Mr. Bailey to his nearby home on First Avenue near Lake Merritt. After the two reported their findings to Bey, the three men conducted a dry run of the murder, which Bey set for the following morning. Bey, Mackey and Broussard planned the details of the attack in front of Mr. Bailey's home only hours before the murder was to take place. On the early morning of August 2, 2007, Broussard and Mackey awakened Bey as instructed so Bey could borrow a nondescript white van from the bakery handyman. Mackey and Broussard drove to Mr. Bailey's house but the men missed their window to kill Mr. Bailey by a matter of seconds. Mackey drove Mr. Bailey's route to work until the men found him walking on 14th Street. Mackey remained with the van while Broussard -- dressed in all black Courthouse, 1225 Fallon Street, 9th Floor, Oakland, CA 94612 (510) 272-6222 and wearing a mask and gloves -- ambushed Mr. Bailey on the sidewalk. Broussard killed Mr. Bailey with three shots to the shoulder, abdomen, and face with a Mossberg shotgun. The men returned to the bakery and reported back to Bey. Bey insisted on seeing the scene, so the three men returned to the area to see the aftermath. Bey bragged about how "big" the murder was going to be for the bakery; saying the bakery would get respect and loans upon demand. Shooting of an Unoccupied Vehicle, December 7, 2006 On December 7, 2006, defendant Bey orchestrated the shooting of a man's car in retaliation for disrespectful comments the man made as well as the man having fired his own gun near bakery property. Broussard and at least three other men used the SKS later used to kill Mr. Roberson and Mr. Wills, the Mossberg shotgun later used to kill Mr. Bailey, an AK-style assault rifle, and another shotgun to fire almost 40 rounds at the unoccupied vehicle. Six months later, defendant Bey took the same AK-style assault rifle to San Francisco in a Corvette to handle an unruly crowd at one of the night clubs at which the bakery provided security services. Police arrived on scene when the crowd turned violent and unknown people began firing. Bey abandoned the gun in the Corvette and left the car in the city for the night. The next morning SFPD officers continuing their investigation of the shooting seized the assault rifle from the car after seeing the barrel of the gun poking out from the trunk area into the connected passenger compartment. Investigation At approximately 5:00 a.m. the day after Mr. Bailey’s murder, the Oakland Police Department led a multi-agency force of officers to raid three properties owned by the bakery, including the duplex as well as the residence above the bakery in which defendant Bey resided. The raid had been planned for days, based on search warrants involving other violent crimes committed by Bey in the past. Officers seized the Mossberg shotgun, the same gun as the one stolen by defendant Bey and a group of bakery followers from a liquor store the group destroyed in late November 2006 in their purported protest of the overabundance of liquor stores in African American neighborhoods. Police seized a second shotgun from under defendant Mackey's bed. Although not linked to any known crimes, it was loaded with two of the three types of shotgun shells used in the Bailey murder. In addition, officers seized over 200 expended casings and shotgun shells from inside the duplex and defendant Bey's home as well as from the flat rooftop of the bakery building housing his residence. Months of detailed scientific comparison of the casings and shotgun shells with those left at the Roberson, Wills, and Bailey murder scenes linked defendant Bey and the bakery as a whole to the crimes. Firearms comparison also linked both murder weapons to the December 7, 2006 shooting of the unoccupied vehicle. Though the majority of the details about the three murders and the car shooting came in through the testimony of Broussard -- who will serve a 25-year sentence in exchange for his testimony against the defendants -- Bey's telephone records, GPS data from a tracking device placed on Bey's car prior to the murders, and testimony from other witnesses about Bey having bragged about the Bailey murder substantiated the accomplice testimony. Deputy District Attorney Melissa Krum says, “"I am incredibly proud of how hard this jury worked to arrive at all the verdicts in this voluminous case and am very pleased with the outcome."

    Public Affairs News Service Tuesday, February 23, 2010 Writer/Contact: John F. Greenman, 706/542-1081, [email protected] UGA awards McGill Medal for Journalistic Courage to Chauncey Bailey Project reporters Athens, Ga. – Four reporters associated with the Chauncey Bailey Project will be honored by the University of Georgia for journalistic courage. Thomas Peele, Josh Richman, Mary Fricker and Bob Butler will receive the McGill Medal for Journalistic Courage on Wednesday, March 24, at the UGA Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. “Peele, Richman, Fricker and Butler’s reporting was truly courageous,” wrote Oakland Tribune editor Martin G. Reynolds in his nomination. “A reporter was killed and they continued and expanded his work despite obvious dangers.” The reporter was Chauncey Bailey, editor of the Oakland Post, who was murdered in 2007 while investigating black Muslims and their Your Black Muslim Bakery, headquartered in Oakland, Calif. The man charged with Bailey’s killing told a court he was ordered by the group’s leader to murder Bailey “to stop this story.” The four reporters wrote more than 100 stories about the group, the murder, and the police investigation. Reynolds wrote, “Their reportage forced the indictment of the group’s leader on murder changes for ordering the assassination.” Peele and Richman are reporters for The Oakland Tribune/Bay Area News Group. Peele is an investigative reporter whose work focuses on government malfeasance and corruption. A 25-year veteran of newspapers on both coasts, Peele has won four national reporting awards. Richman covers state and federal politics. He reported for the Express- Times in Easton, Pa.

  • The Oakland Tribune (Oakland
    The Oakland Tribune (Oakland, CA) August 17, 2004 Tuesday Muslim bakery leader confirmed dead BYLINE: By Harry Harris and Chauncey Bailey - STAFF WRITERS SECTION: MORE LOCAL NEWS LENGTH: 917 words OAKLAND -- A man found buried in a shallow grave last month in the Oakland hills was identified Monday as Waajid Aljawaad Bey, 51, president and chief executive officer of Your Black Muslim Bakery, police said. Police would not say how Bey, who assumed leadership of the bakery after the death of Yusuf Bey in September, had died. But Sgt. Bruce Brock said police are investigating the case "as a definite homicide." He would not say whether police think Bey was killed elsewhere before being buried at the site or was killed there and then buried. And while police are certain Bey was deliberately killed, Brock said despite a great deal of speculation, "we're not sure of a motive at this time." Some bakery insiders have feared that Bey's fate may be related to rivalries and a power play in the wake of Yusuf Bey's death from cancer in 2003. Although Bey never really discussed his Muslim activities with relatives, family members "are quite sure [the death] had something to do with him taking over" the organ ization, said a relative who asked not to be named. Bey's badly decomposed remains were discovered July 20 by a dog being walked by its owner on a fire trail that runs off the 8200 block of Fontaine Street near King Estates Middle School. Because of the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body, it was classified as a homicide at the time, the city's 46th.

  • Strategic Area Command
    STRATEGIC AREA COMMAND ANNUAL REPORT 2007 2007 Strategic Area Command Annual Report - 1 - 2007 Strategic Area Command Annual Report - 2 - CAPTAIN E. TRACEY The mission of the Strategic Area Command for 2007 was to use the resources to strategically address community priorities and emerging crime trends. Emphasis was placed on “wrapping” resources around the Problem Solving Officer and the level of responsibility and accountability of the Police Service Area (PSA) Lieutenant. The primary goal of the Division is give its members the authority, training, and tools to perform problem-oriented policing and to hold them responsible for a high level of performance. The following units fell under the umbrella of SAC this year: • Police Service Area Lieutenants • Crime Reduction Teams (CRT) • Problem Solving Officers (PSO) • Traffic Section • Special Events Unit • Tactical Operations Section • Alcohol Beverage Action Team (ABAT) • Foot Patrol Unit • Crime Scene Technicians • Canine Program • Police Reserves • Gang Unit • Parole and Corrections Team (PACT) • Air Support Collectively, these units did an outstanding job in the areas of community policing, traffic enforcement and crime suppression. Through the excellent work of the men and women of SAC along with others in the department, some areas in the city saw dramatic decreases in Part 1 crime (See report for PSA 3 and 5). STAFFING SAC has benefited from the assignment of officers under Measure Y. While the Department has struggled to increase overall staff, it has maintained its commitment to Measure Y by assigning 40% of the officers who complete field training to assignments as PSOs in SAC. These new assignments have had collateral effects on other parts of the Department and Division.

  • Jinn N' (No Freshly Squeezed) Juice: Interracial Tensions and Muslim
    ajiss27-2-final-obay.qxp 6/9/2010 4:42 PM Page 130 Forum Jinn n’ (No Freshly Squeezed) Juice: Interracial Tensions and Muslim Image-Making in the “Hood” Maytha Alhassen Introduction Liquor stores, or more colloquially “corner stores,” in Detroit, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Washington, and other major metropolitan cities located in economically under-served, urban, majority-black neighbor- hoods have been purchased by Arab American and Arab immigrants over the last two decades. In order to understand the relationship of place to religion and race, I intend to examine the dynamics of the encounter between African- American Muslims and Arab and Arab-American Muslims (mostly Yemeni) at various liquor stores in Oakland, where, according to the US Census (2000), African Americans compose 64 percent of the population. Complicated by an ethno-religious component, Yemeni Muslim liquor store ownership concentrated in Oakland’s highest density, crime-ridden, black-dominant, and economically poorest neighborhoods, although aided by literature, requires a new theoretical arsenal for approaching the conflict. Little scholarly attention has been paid to the demographic shift in owner- ship and the resulting relations between the two groups. This essay is by no means an attempt to provide a comprehensive portrait or a theoretical foun- dation. Better described as a pilot study, my participant observations during Maytha Alhassen is a University of Southern California’s (USC) Provost Ph.D. Fellow in American Studies and Ethnicity and a NewGround Fellow. Her research interests include Race and Ethnicity, Race in American Islam, Black-Arab relations, Muslim diasporas, racial- ization of Muslims, Arab American racial classification, History of Islam in the Americas, and oral history narratives.
