Police say
Chauncey Bailey, 57, was the victim of a contract killing, which puzzles his Oakland Post colleagues. "People might be upset at him, but Chauncey didn't go around making enemies," says the paper's advertising manager. A police department spokesman adds: "We just don't know if there was something related to his job that was the root of this. There's nothing glaring at the moment." || Related
