CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / OAKLAND

Two more men have been indicted in the killing of an Oakland journalist.

A grand jury on Wednesday voted to indict Yusuf Bey IV, 23, in the slaying of Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey, who was shot as he walked to work in 2007, said Alameda County Deputy Dist. Atty. Chris Lamiero.

Bey is the former leader of a community group known as Your Black Muslim Bakery, which was founded to provide support and a haven for Oakland’s poor but ran into financial and other problems. Bailey had been investigating the group’s finances.

The indictment also named a bakery associate, 23-year-old Antoine Mackey. Bey and Mackey are accused in connection with two other killings as well, Lamiero said.

The grand jury has also indicted 21-year-old Devaughndre Broussard in the Bailey killing and that of another man, the prosecutor said.

Broussard, a former handyman at the bakery who already faced a murder charge in Bailey’s death, had testified before the grand jury.

Broussard’s defense attorney, LeRue Grim, said his client has struck a deal to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the Bailey case as well as the earlier killing in return for a sentence of no more than 25 years in prison.
