HeadlineAug 06, 2007

In Oakland, a 19-year-old handyman has reportedly confessed to last week’s murder of Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey. Bailey was shot to death in downtown Oakland. Police have arrested seven men in the case and raided a local bakery. An attorney for the Oakland Post said Bailey might have been targeted because he had been working on an article about possible links between the Your Black Muslim Bakery and several killings in the area.
