The young woman sits on a chair in a vacant East Oakland house, a plastic bag covering her face, hands shackled in front of her. Men she can’t see tell her they’ve been watching her, that they know she has a lot of cash.

They hit her in the knee with a board, or maybe it’s a bat. They slam her over the head again and again. Bleeding, the young woman thinks she is going to die. Her mother, abducted with her at gunpoint after leaving a bingo parlor at Foothill Square, sits shackled and terrified in one of two cars that brought them to the house.

“Where do you keep your money?” they demand of the daughter. She tells them she doesn’t have a lot of money. One man asks whether she can “smell that gasoline, that’s the next thing that’s gonna happen.”They threaten to shove a hot curling iron in her vagina.

Then, suddenly, they are gone. A police cruiser has driven up, and the officer hears the daughter screaming for help. The suspects scatter, leaving behind important clues — a proverbial trail of bread crumbs — two cars, a cell phone, the vacant house itself all traced to members of Your Black Muslim Bakery.

But it will be nearly three months before more than 200 heavily armed police officers storm the bakery and other Bey-owned properties Aug. 3, eventually arresting bakery CEO Yusuf Bey IV, 21, Joshua Bey, 20, Yusuf Bey V, 20, and associate Tamon Halfin, 21, on suspicion of the May 17 kidnapping.

The raid came too late to save Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey, gunned down in broad daylight on a downtown street a day earlier. Police said the gun used to kill Bailey was found in the raid on Your Black Muslim Bakery on Aug. 3.
