This tragic news comes just days after New York County Supreme Court Judge Ellen Biben granted the motion to dismiss the convictions of Muhammad Aziz and the late Khalil Islam who were convicted of murdering Shabazz’s father, Malcolm X. This ended a half-century fight to determine the real killers of the civil rights icon who was assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom near Harlem on February 21, 1965.
Malikah Shabazz, one of the six daughters of legendary Black nationalist and Pan-Africanist leader Malcolm X, was found dead in her New York home. She was 56
Shabazz was reportedly found unconscious and unresponsive inside her home in Brooklyn on late Monday afternoon, Nov. 22, 2021, by her daughter, according to two senior police officials who communicated to CBS New York. The news station stated the cause of death has not yet been determined. The medical examiner’s office was dispatched to Shabazz’s home and determined during its preliminary investigation there were no signs of foul play.
Shabazz was one of a set of twins who were born after her famous father was slain
