Two arrested men suspected of killing the grandson of US civil rights leader Malcolm X have been taken to prison to await trial, Mexican officials say.\n<\/p>\n
A Mexico City court spokesman said Saturday that David Hernandez and Manuel Perez, accused of theft and aggravated homicide, were being held in a prison in the capital.\n<\/p>\n
The two suspects were May 13. They are waiters at a bar where Malcolm Shabazz came into a violent dispute on May 8.\n<\/p>\n
The brawl ended with Shabazz being beaten with a bat or stick in his head, face and torso. He later died of injuries sustained from the attack.\n<\/p>\n
Shabazz was in Mexico City to meet Miguel Suarez, an immigration activist who was recently deported from the United States.\n<\/p>\n
Before his demise, Shabazz was in the process of writing two books and attended John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.\n<\/p>\n
He had planned to visit Iran in 2013 to attend the Hollywoodism conference when he was arrested by FBI agents, sources outside the United States confirmed on February 4.\n<\/p>\n
Born in 1984, Shabazz was the son of Qubilah Shabazz, who was the second daughter of Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz.\n<\/p>\n
Malcolm X, Malcolm Shabazz\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s grandfather and an influential civil rights leader, was shot dead at a political rally in New York on February 21, 1965.\n<\/p>\n
