How did Malcolm X die?

Written and fact-checked by The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, New York. Three members of the Nation of Islam—the religious group to which he had once belonged—were convicted of his murder. (Two were exonerated in 2021.) Prior to this, hostilities between Malcolm and the Nation of Islam had been mounting, the former having begun to receive death threats from the latter.
