Oakland Police Say Bailey Murderer Did Not Act Alone
In the pre-dawn hours on Friday, Oakland police raided the Your Black Muslim Bakery headquarters on San Pablo Avenue near the Emeryville border on warrants concerning murder and kidnapping charges unrelated to the Bailey murder. Police officials said that seven of the nine persons named in the warrants were arrested, and that “firearm-related evidence linked to the Bailey murder” was recovered.
Shortly after the police raid, inspectors with the Alameda County Health Department closed down the bakery because of reported health code violations.
Your Black Muslim Bakery was founded by the late Dr. Yusuf Bey, who had once been a member of the Nation of Islam, now headed by Minister Louis Farrakhan. In their press conference announcing the raid and arrests, Oakland police officials pointedly noted that Your Black Muslim Bakery is not affiliated with the Nation of Islam, or with the local NOI mosque headed by Minister Keith Muhammad.
