Yusuf Bey IV ordered one of his bodyguards at the former Your Black Muslim Bakery to kill two witnesses in his upcoming triple murder trial, a plot that investigators unraveled before anyone was attacked, according to documents and officials.
Bey IV — being held in Santa Rita Jail in Dublin — tasked Gary Popoff, 42, with "eliminating witnesses," an official with knowledge of the matter said Wednesday. According to police documents, investigators from the Alameda County District Attorney's Office arrested Popoff during a traffic stop near downtown Oakland on March 12 on suspicion of attempted witness intimidation, the same day they learned of the alleged order from a confidential informant, according to documents.
Popoff was on parole from state prison at the time. Last week, the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ordered him returned to state prison for nine months, a department spokeswoman said. An investigation into the witness case is continuing; Popoff has not been charged. Bey IV and others are also being investigated.
Bey IV made the orders by writing notes in the margins of legal transcripts that his then-lawyer, Lorna Patton Brown, transported from Santa Rita Jail and gave to Bey's sister, Ayesha. Ayesha Bey gave the documents to Popoff, according to a written summary of the administrative hearing released late Wednesday by the corrections department.
"The transcripts included highlighted and written notes from Yusuf Bey (IV) regarding the witness. It is reasonable to infer that (from) Bey IV's notes on the transcription that (Popoff) "... agreed to harm one of the witnesses."
The summary also refers to jail phone calls between Bey IV and Popoff in which the witnesses were discussed.

The nation hears daily updates on the so-call Christian Militia but this Islamic supremacist hate group that murdered and thugged their way through the community (busting up a liquor store’s inventory) has been kept off the national wireservices.
Where is the Southern Poverty Law Center? Where is Eric Holder?
“They don’t follow TRUE Islam” so therefore the muslim community doesn’t feel compelled to speak out.
