https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Malcolm_X
This will give you the details but basically Malcolm X said that the shitty leader of the Nation of Islam shouldn't be the leader and then he started to get death threats so he felt he needed to protect himself. This picture, I believe, is him at his house.
The NOI leader was chitty... he was claiming to be a prophet and slept with multiple women as a so-called Muslim.
