Man who murdered Oakland journalist in 2007 released from prison
Briefly

Devaughndre Monique Broussard, responsible for the assassination of Oakland journalist Chauncey Bailey nearly 18 years ago, has been paroled. Bailey was murdered in 2007 on the orders of Yusuf Bey IV, to prevent him from publishing a damaging story about Bey's bakery. Broussard confessed to the crime and, as part of a plea deal, testified against Bey IV, leading to a 25-year prison sentence. His early release is attributed to good behavior and work as an inmate firefighter, raising concerns over the justice served in this high-profile case.
Broussard ultimately killed Bailey under the directive of Bey IV, noting that Bailey was set to publish a damaging story about the bakery's business collapse.
As part of his plea agreement, Broussard testified against those involved in the murder, leading to a fixed 25-year prison sentence that was met with early release due to good behavior.
