That's still a mystery. But new evidence shows that two of the three persons actually convicted of doing so were innocent. Inspired by the Netflix documentary of the same name, the Manhattan DA--Cyrus R. Vance, Jr.--is set to exonerate Muhammad A. Aziz, 83, and Khalil Islam (who died in 2009), who along with Mujahid Abdul Halim, were convicted of killing the the charismatic civil rights leader in 1965. Vance acknowledged that Aziz and Islam did not get a fair trial and plans to ask a judge to vacate the convictions on Thursday. Both men have consistently denied being involved in the murder. Halim has confessed to being one of the three gunmen who killed Malcolm X, but testified that neither Aziz nor Islam were involved in one of the most important political assassinations in American history. Both Aziz and Islam served more than two decades in prison for the crime.
