Los Angeles police killed Nation of Islam member Ronald Stokes during a raid at the mosque. Malcolm initially sought legal redress and an investigation, while other members pressed for a stronger response. The episode deepened his conflict with Elijah Muhammad's leadership and sharpened his focus on police violence. The FBI's document is an official surveillance record, so its descriptions are read alongside movement accounts rather than treated as neutral.
