African American leader Malcolm X’s daughters filed a $100M lawsuit in the Manhattan federal court on November 15, 2024, accusing the CIA, FBI, and the New York Police Department of being involved in the 1965 assassination of their father.
In the lawsuit filed along with the late leader’s estate, they claimed that said agencies failed to prevent the assassination and were aware of the happenings before that. The agencies have not commented yet.
Malcolm X, aged 39, was killed on February 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in Manhattan during a public address. The NYPD reportedly arrested his security detail days before the murder and intentionally withdrew officers from the venue. Meanwhile, federal undercover agents present at the ballroom allegedly failed to intervene.
Three men were convicted in his death, but two were exonerated in 2021 after new investigations revealed contradicting evidence. The leader has six daughters Attallah Shabazz, Qubilah Shabazz, Ilyasah Shabazz, Gamilah Lumumba Shabazz, Malikah Shabazz, and Malaak Shabazz.
The lawsuit accused prosecutors of suppressing evidence of government involvement in the assassination. It alleged a corrupt and unconstitutional collaboration between law enforcement and Malcolm X’s killers, which was concealed and enabled by government agents.
