In the new Netflix docu-series "Who Killed Malcolm X?" Abdur-Rahman Muhammad is an expert on the iconic civil rights leader and he uncovers FBI files indicating William Bradley, also known as Al-Mustafa Shabazz, of gunning down Malcolm in 1965. In the new Netflix docu-series, “Who Killed Malcolm X?”, researchers and witnesses to the February 1965 murder of the iconic activist allege that Malcolm’s true killer was never brought to justice.

By the time the civil rights leader was gunned down in the Audubon Ballroom in New York City, a rift had opened between Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam. There was speculation at the time that Malcolm was killed at Muhammad’s behest after his split from the Nation, according to Malcolm X expert and imam Abdur-Rahman Muhammad.

Three Harlem NOI members were arrested and convicted of the murder: Talmadge Hayer (also known as Mujahid Abdul Halim and Thomas Hagan), Muhammad Abdul Aziz (also known as Norman 3X Butler) and Khalil Islam (also known as Thomas 15X Johnson).

Aziz and Islam insisted on their innocence, and Hayer swore in two affidavits that they had nothing to do with it. Both Aziz and Islam were later paroled from prison, with Islam dying in 2009.

“I was there, I know what happened and I know the people who were there,” Hayer testified in February 1966, according to CNN.

Muhammad has, since 2010, insisted that a Newark, New Jersey, man named William Bradley (later known as Al-Mustafa Shabazz) was responsible for the shot that killed Malcolm. He also implicated three other members of a Newark Nation of Islam mosque, according to the New York Times.
