Vigil held for Malik Shabazz; Detroit activist on life support [[detroitnews.com)

Detroit — Activists, cops, politicians, clergy and others assembled outside Henry Ford Hospital Tuesday to pray for a man who has organized hundreds of his own gatherings during a 39-year career spent trying to improve Detroiters' lives and bring criminals to justice.
Malik Shabazz, founder of the New Black Panther Party/New Marcus Garvey Movement, and cofounder of the Detroit 300 patrol group, is on life support in the hospital after suffering a heart attack Monday as he prepared to accept a Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award in Lansing, friends said.
"This brother has always come out for the community, and now the community is coming out for him," said the Rev. W.J. Rideout, who, along with the Rev. Maurice Hardwick, organized Tuesday's vigil near West Grand Boulevard that was attended by more than 100 people. "What you're seeing here is an outpouring of love."
