Answer:

A. Malcolm X

Step-by-step explanation:

Malcolm X was preparing a talk in Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom when a man rushed forward from the crowd and shot him in the chest, while two other men charged the stage and fired at him. Malcolm X died from these injuries on February 21, 1965 at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. He had received 21 gunshots, all shot by members of the Nation of Islam, a group of radical Black Muslims.
