OAKLAND -- After striking a deal with prosecutors, Devaughndre Broussard described in detail how he carried out orders from the leader of Your Black Muslim Bakery to kill Oakland journalist Chauncey Bailey, including specific instructions to fire enough rounds to make sure "it ain't no coming back."
The 21-year-old former handyman for the bakery chillingly and nonchalantly took prosecutor Chris Lamiero step by step March 23 and 24 through the events surrounding the slayings of the Oakland Post editor and another man. Both shootings, he said, were ordered by Yusuf Bey IV, the leader of the bakery, a now-defunct black empowerment group.
Bey, said Broussard, was closely involved in the planning of Bailey's slaying, even going over details with Broussard and another man from the bakery of how the journalist could be killed as the three talked outside Bailey's Oakland apartment.
Broussard gave his version of the killing and events before and afterward as part of an agreement under which he will plead guilty to two counts of voluntary manslaughter in exchange for a 25-year sentence and a promise to testify against Bey, 23. The Chronicle obtained a recording of Broussard's five-hour statement.
He is expected to testify next week before a grand jury that is considering whether Bey should be charged in the slaying of Bailey, 57, who was shot repeatedly on a downtown Oakland street as he walked to work Aug. 2, 2007.
In addition to the Bailey slaying, Broussard told Lamiero that Bey ordered him to follow and then kill Odell Roberson, a transient drug addict
...The bakery leader, he said, had "a list of people that he wanted to get rid of" that he carried around "on a little clipboard."
"Like, people that that done stuff to the bakery," Broussard said. "He ready for reprisal, revenge."

Yusuf Bey founded Your Black Muslim Bakery.
Yusuf Bey IV. Just the local community organizer!
I see a pardon in his future.
Calling "Your Black Muslim Bakery" a "black empowerment group" is like calling the Taliban a religious order.
They were a criminal organization no different than MS-13. They just dressed better.
Your Black Muslim Bakery sound like violent extremists. John McCain should be asked to answer for their actions.
MS-13 never walked into a liquor store and smashed up the inventory.
LOL, Oakland is just your typical Democrat city.
Can I get that hat in pink? I wanna pretend to be Jackie O.
Did the DHS think to worry about this group, while writing up about how taxpayers and anti-abortion groups and veterans might get ‘violent’?
