OAKLAND -- There is a massive police presence at this hour in front of the Your Black Muslim Bakery in Oakland.
Television stations KPIX and KTVU report that Oakland and Fremont police are on the scene as well as S.W.A.T team negotiators and various high-ranking police officials.
The incident is happening along San Pablo Avenue in Oakland. A command center has been set up in Emeryville, but there are few other details at this hour.
The late Yusuf Bey was the founder of Your Black Muslim Bakery, famed for its bean and carrot pies and known as having an open door to struggling families.
Bey's reputation took a hit in later years as he defended himself against rape allegations in Alameda County.
Most of those charges were later dropped, and one was pending when he died.
They shot a newspaperman?
Don’t they know that this is the one way not to get favorable coverage from besotted liberals?
;0))
Also, longtime Oakland journalist Chauncey Bailey was reportedly researching an investigative piece into Your Black Muslim Bakery before he was shot and killed Thursday morning.
Nah, they hang out at the Dunkin Donuts. :)
Yeah, I heard that on KTVU-2 and on KGO-810 this morning.
Thanks for adding that fact, that this is connected to the assassination yesterday. I wondered ...
Funny. You never hear about reporters investigating allegations against Mennonites getting shot and killed in a horse-and-buggy drive-by. I’m just sayin’.

LOL, nice one.
my rough summary from channel 2’s story just now:
major investigation going on for a year, YBMB just one of four places raided, yuseph bey arrested, 19 people in custody related to 3 homicides in the past 3 weeks, firearms, ammo, shotguns recovered, possibly also related to shooting yd of newspaper guy Bailey who was writing about $ troubles at YBMB
LOL..
“Your Black Muslim Bakery” - that’s the name of a real store? Jeez.
Are these the same fine citizens that were beating up liquor store owners in Oakland?
If the police presence is related to yesterday’s assassination, it is not the first linked to the Black Muslims in Oakland. Not to mention the attack my members of the group on Yemeni liquor store owners about a year ago.
Black Muslim leader is slain in Oakland
Oakland Tribune, Oct 26, 2005 by Susan McDonough, STAFF WRITER
OAKLAND — A son of controversial Black Muslim leader Yusef Bey was shot and killed Tuesday night while pumping gas at a North Oakland station.
Antar Bey, 24, was at the gas station at 55th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way just after 7:30 p.m. when he was shot as he waited to fill up his black BMW 745, police said.
Police said Antar Bey, the appointed successor to the late Yusef Bey, had stepped away from the car and was talking on his cell phone when he was shot. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival, police said.
Yes, that's what I heard on the radio this morning.
“Are these the same fine citizens that were beating up liquor store owners in Oakland?”
Yep
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
