Reporter Killed for Investigative Reporting He was Doing on a Muslim Bakery
Chauncey Bailey was shot and killed by Devaughdre Broussard, who confessed and called himself a good soldier. So what was Devaughdre Broussard so mad about that he decided to kill Bailey? Bailey was doing some investigative reporting into an establishment called the Black Muslim Bakery. So this Muslim decided he needed to use violence against someone who might have found something that wasn’t on the level.
He was taken into custody Friday along with six other people in an early morning police raid on the bakery and affiliated buildings as a result of a two-month police investigation. Broussard had been staying at one of the raided houses on 59th Street, its rear yard connecting to the bakery property. At the house, police recovered the shotgun they believe was used to kill Bailey, the 57-year-old editor of the Oakland Postnewspaper.
One of those arrested in the raid was Yusuf Bey IV, son of the bakery’s founder, the late Black Muslim leader Yusuf Bey. Bey IV was booked Saturday on a $375,000 warrant out of San Francisco stemming from an incident in which he allegedly ran over a security guard at a strip club. His brother, Joshua Bey, and two others arrested in Friday’s raids, are being held in connection with the July 19 kidnapping and assault of a woman.
