Malcolm X Assassin Is Freed On Parole In NYC

69-year-old convict was the last man still serving time in the 1965 killing

NEW YORK
- The only man to admit shooting Malcolm X was freed on parole Tuesday, 45 years after he assassinated the civil rights leader.

Thomas Hagan, the last man still serving time in the 1965 killing, was freed from a Manhattan prison where he spent two days a week under a work-release program, state Department of Correctional Services spokeswoman Linda Foglia said.

Hagan, 69, has said he was one of three gunmen who shot Malcolm X as he began a speech at Harlem's Audubon Ballroom on Feb. 21, 1965. But Hagan has said the two men convicted with him were not involved.

He should stay in jail until he says who the other two men were, and they too are convicted.

The other two were convicted and paroled earlier.
