Sep. 20--OAKLAND -- The shotgun police said was used by a member of Your Black Muslim Bakery to kill Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey on Aug. 2 also was used in a failed June 2005 assassination attempt on a former high-ranking member of the bakery organization, authorities confirmed Wednesday.

Police also say the same shotgun was used in December to blast out the windows of a car belonging to the ex-boyfriend of the girlfriend of Yusuf Bey IV, the now jailed leader of the bakery empire. Bey IV, 21, ascended to power after his older brother, Antar Bey, 24, was murdered in October 2005 during an attempted carjacking.
