MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Authorities in Mexico City have arrested two men on suspicion of the fatal beating of the grandson of U.S. civil rights activist Malcolm X in a bar last week and are looking for at least two more people, Mexico City Attorney General Rodolfo Rios said on Monday.
Malcolm Shabazz, who police have said was 29, died last Thursday at a bar just steps away from Mexico City's popular Plaza Garibaldi, where mariachis serenade tourists.
Police have arrested two men who are waiters at the bar, David Hernandez and Manuel Perez, and are looking for at least two more suspects, Rios said.
Shabazz was with Manuel Suarez, a labor rights activist who had recently been deported from the United States, when they were confronted by two women aged between 20 and 25 in the rough neighborhood of Tepito, said Rios.
The unidentified women, who police still want to question, took the two men to the Palace nightclub, said Rios. Shabazz and Suarez were then presented with a more than $1,200 bill, which they disputed. Police have described the Palace as a place of low repute.

I don’t want to see anyone U.S. or Mexican killed down in Mexico, but why am I supposed to care about this person?
This isn’t news.
Hint, don’t want to get killed don’t go to Mexico, Chicago, or Detroit.
He and his buddy were catting around drinking and in a “catting-around place.”
They didn’t like the bill and argued (”do you know WHO I am?”) They got their butts kicked, he died.
I agree, this isn’t news, a tale as old as time.
Just one of about 1000 reasons why I’ve never set foot in Mexico and never will.Mexico has absolutely *nothing* that I want.
The moral of this story is to stay out of rough neighborhoods and dives. Otherwise, you may wake up in the gutter with a tamale in your mouth, or worse.
when I first saw this story-I thought of you ;)
...wasn’t O in Mexico that week?
David Hernandez and Manuel Perez can certainly seek assylum here in the U.S. With Obama, the impossible can become reality.
...wasn’t O in Mexico that week?
A very good question.
Obama was in Mexico on May 2nd.
Shabazz dies on May 9th
Just a sad coincidence, I’m sure.
I mourn no one with the last name of Shabazz
I agree. He got away with murdering his grandmother. This is poetic justice.
Agreed Gaffer...
