Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965, by three members of the Nation of Islam: Talmadge Hayer (also known as Thomas Hagan), Norman 3X Butler, and Khalil Islam (formerly known as Albert Cleage). Hayer was caught at the scene and later confessed to his involvement, while Butler and Islam were convicted in a controversial trial that has since been the subject of much debate and claims of innocence. The motives behind the assassination were linked to Malcolm X's break with the Nation of Islam and his evolving views on race and activism.
