In his youth, he set a fire that caused the death of his grandmother...

I remember the event. So, this was that brat?

Yes.

Shabazz was the son of one of Malcolm X’s six daughters, Qubilah Shabazz.

When he was 12, he was involved in a fire that killed his grandmother Betty Shabazz, the widow of Malcolm X.

He was convicted of manslaughter and arson and sentenced to time in a juvenile detention centre.
