Malcolm X’s daughter and granddaughter have been charged with theft and animal cruelty after seven severely injured pit bulls were found in the back of a stolen rental truck.

Malikah Shabazz, 51, and her daughter Bettih Shabazz, 19, were arrested on Wednesday night in a Wal-Mart parking lot in La Plata, Maryland.

Police found the pit pull terriers, some with severe injuries, in the back of the truck stacked in crates in ‘inhumane conditions’.
