The New York Times reports that
When Chauncey Bailey, the editor of The Oakland Post, in California, was gunned down in broad daylight on a city street 18 months ago, it was not the end of his journalism. In some ways, it was a new beginning.
Bailey was investigating a local business at the time called Your Black Muslim Bakery and there were suspicions that it may have been related to his murder.
After his death, a group of reporters — some retired, some out of work — with support from foundations and the University of California, Berkeley, banded together to continue his investigation
The culmination of the investigation was that the group acquired a tape
secretly recorded by the police, showed Yusuf Bey IV sitting with associates in a jailhouse room, bragging about being a part of Mr. Bailey’s murder. It raised critical questions — still unanswered — about why the police had not charged Mr. Bey in the murder.

Hi Nigel,
Been enjoying reading your commentary. I thought as a follow up to this piece about violence against journalists and investigative journalism that you might be interested in a similar story from Mexico:
Our blog at the Knight Center recently interviewed Lise Olsen about her efforts to investigate deaths of US citizens in Mexico. Similar to the followup to the death of Chauncey Bailey, she too was inspired by the death of a journalist colleague.
