A key witness claims undercover officials were involved in the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965: 'From my vantage point, this was an attempt by the police to assist in him getting away.'
Organization of African American Unity member Mustafa Hassan , with Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump and Ilyasah Shabazz, points to a photograph during a press conference in New York on July 25, 2023.
Hassan read from an affidavit filed in Kings County, New York, which detailed his recollection of the day, where he said he heard an explosion and later gunshots. He said he saw a man — whom he later identified as Talmadge Hayer, also known as Thomas Hagen and Mujahid Abdul Halim — running up an aisle towards an exit while wielding a gun.
He then went to pursue the man who he had earlier knocked down. “I would later see the same man outside as he was being beaten by Malcolm’s followers, while a group of policemen, who suddenly showed up at the scene, ask[ed] ‘Is he with us?’ while at the same time holding back Malcolm’s followers from beating him,” he said. “From my vantage point, this was an attempt by the police to assist in him getting away. Rather than allow the man to get away.
Hassan, who was 26 at the time, said he believed he heard one officer ask a question that implied that there was some coordination involved and that Hayer may have been part of a conspiracy to assassinate Malcolm X. “They were prepared to let him go, that’s my perspective,” Hassan later added. Hassan said he was never questioned or interviewed about his eyewitness account during the investigations.
