Christian changed his name upon joining the Nation of Islam and eventually became captain in their paramilitary unit, the Fruit of Islam.[1]
Christian was the 321st[2] person to be added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list as a suspect in the 1972 murder of Tyrone "Fat Ty" Palmer, who was shot in the face at Club Harlem, and as a suspect in the 1973 murder of Major Coxson and shooting of several others at Coxson's residence. Because there were no witnesses willing to testify against him, he was not convicted of either murder.[1]
