anybody ever find out who killed Malcolm X? What happened to his murderers?

Answer 1

On March 20, 1964, Life published a famous photograph of Malcolm X holding an M1 Carbine and pulling back the curtains to peer out of a window. The photo was taken in connection with Malcolm's declaration that he would defend himself from the daily death threats which he and his family were receiving. Undercover FBI informants warned officials that Malcolm X had been marked for assassination.
Tensions increased between Malcolm and the Nation of Islam. It was alleged that orders were given by leaders of the Nation of Islam to "destroy" Malcolm; in The Autobiography of Malcolm X, he says that as early as 1963, a member of the Seventh Temple confessed to him having received orders from the Nation of Islam to kill him. The NOI sued to reclaim Malcolm's home in Queens, which they claimed to have paid for, and won. He appealed, and was angry at the thought that his family might soon have no place to live. Then, on February 14, 1965, the night before the property was to have been turned over the NOI, the house burned to the ground. Malcolm and his family survived, and no one was charged with any crime.
A week later on February 21 in Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom, Malcolm had just begun delivering a speech when a disturbance broke out in the crowd of 400. A man yelled, "Get your hand outta my pocket! Don't be messin' with my pockets!" As Malcolm's bodyguards moved to quiet the disturbance and Malcolm appealed for peace, a man rushed forward and shot Malcolm in the chest with a sawed-off shotgun. Two other men charged the stage and fired handguns at Malcolm, who was shot 16 times. Angry onlookers in the crowd caught and beat the assassins as they attempted to flee the ballroom. The 39-year-old Malcolm was pronounced dead on arrival at New York's Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. He was killed by the shotgun blast, the other bullets having been directed to his legs.
Although a police report once existed stating that two men were detained in connection with the shooting, that report disappeared, and the investigation was inconclusive.[citation needed] Two suspects were named by witnesses — Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson.
Three men were eventually charged in the case. Talmadge Hayer confessed to having fired shots into Malcolm's body, but he testified that Butler and Johnson were not present and were not involved in the shooting. All three were convicted.

Answer 2

Malcolm's assassins, Talmadge Hayer, Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson were convicted of first-degree murder in March 1966. The three men were all members of the Nation of Islam.

Answer 3

Talmadge Hayer confessed to being involved in the assassination. Two others, Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson were convicted, but Hayer denied they had anything to do with it and some say they weren't even there. They were paroled in the 80s.

Hayer named two other people, Leon David and Wilbur McKinley, as being involved in the assassination, they were never tried.

Can't seem to find out whether Hayer is still in jail or was paroled or released or dead.

Answer 4

No. He was a homeless bum eating out of dumpsters here in Boston in the neighborhood of Dorchester. He was arrested running a crime ring out of Harvard Square in Cambridge, did jail time for his petty robberies, found Islam in the slammer, and the rest is history.

Answer 5

It was Jesse Jackson at the request of Elijah Muhammed. Jesse became the head of the Rainbow coalition and ran for president.
