The community activist was hospitalized on Nov. 14, the day after Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan gave him a shoutout during his announcement that he would not run for office for a fourth term.
Prior to rehabilitation treatment, Shabazz had been on a respirator, received a temporary, then permanent, heart pump implant, subsequently battled an infection, and continued to improve after suffering a massive heart attack in June 2023.
The family expresses heartfelt gratitude for community-wide support and prayers for Shabazz and is deeply appreciative of the care provided.
