OAKLAND — On a June night in 1986, Peter August Kaufman was shot to death while sitting in the passenger seat of a friend's van in North Oakland.

The Chauncey Bailey Project has uncovered a link between Kaufman's killing and Yusuf Bey, the late founder of Your Black Muslim Bakery.

In response to queries from reporters with the project, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office is examining new evidence about Kaufman's murder.
