What’s behind the death of Malcolm Shabazz?
Shabazz, the grandson of famed activist Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz, was shot and thrown off a roof in Mexico late last week. Initial reports related it to a botched robbery attempt, however speculation has grown that it may have been a hit to prevent him from getting involved in a potential Iranian arms deal.

Aside from being the grandson of Malcolm X, the younger Shabazz is unfortunately known for setting fire to his grandmother’s apartment while he was a teenager, which killed her. After serving 18 months in juvenile detention for the arson death of Dr. Betty Shabazz, the teen was later arrested on 2 other charges, including armed robbery. His was a troubled life that seemed to coincide with his family’s legacy.
Some say his murder last week is karma for killing his own grandmother as a teen. Others say the CIA took his life to derail a dangerous international incident. Still others say he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Who’s right?
I heard about this over the weekend. What a sad end to a young life. I hope they get to the bottom of what happen..
