Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums has asked the California attorney general to conduct an independent investigation into the city police department’s handling of the murder of newspaper editor Chauncey Bailey (pictured).

Derwin Longmire, ignored evidence linking former Your Black Muslim Bakery leader Yusef Bey IV to Bailey’s killing. Here’s the project’s report on Dellums’ call for an outside probe.
