Quanell X (born Quanell Jefferson Evans on December 7, 1970 in Los Angeles, California) is a member of the New Black Panther Party in Houston, Texas, and a convicted crack dealer. His parents were both Nation of Islam members from Los Angeles. After his parents' divorce, Quanell moved to Houston with his mother and younger brother.
Quanell lived in the South Acres area and attended Worthing High School [1].
Quanell was a drug dealer in the Sunnyside community of South Houston, Texas.[2]. In May 1989, Quanell spent a brief time in jail and received 10 years probation for possessing and dealing crack cocaine. It was during this time that Quanell claims to have had a life changing conversion and decided he would devote his life to the betterment of African-Americans in Houston. Once a "young street thug" according to himself, Quanell polished up his image to set a better role model for the people he leads. He always appears in a very expensive suit and tie and flanked by an armed (guns and knives) posse of New Black Panther Party members to provide intimidation factor. Quanell is a skilled speaker and uses his oratory skills to help lead his organization.
In September 1990, Quanell was inspired by a Louis Farrakhan speech at Sam Houston Coliseum, and joined the Nation of Islam. The newly dubbed Quanell X rose quickly to become a spokesman in the organization.[3] In July 1992, Quanell found his brother Quinten dead in his apartment with three others, all with bullets to their heads. It was here that he met State Representative Ron Wilson (D-Houston).[1] Quanell was kicked out of the Nation of Islam for publicly inciting violence with his televised, and highly publicized, exhortation to Houston-area blacks that "f you feel that you just got to mug somebody because of your hurt and your pain, go to River Oaks and mug you some good white folks. If you’re angry that our brother is put to death, don’t burn down your own community, give these white folks hell from the womb to the tomb."[4][5]
Quanell joined the New Black Panther Party under the leadership of Khalid Abdul Muhammad.[4] In June 2004, Quanell was charged with evading arrest. He was on the phone with Executive Assistant Chief Charles A. McClelland of the Houston Police Department when arranging the surrender of cop shooter Derrick Forney. Quanell was convicted on a lesser charge of 'running from a police officer', a class-B misdemeanor in the State of Texas; on December 1, 2006, the State of Texas First Court of Appeals overturned the conviction. Quanell X is credited with helping officers in the March 2007 murder investigation of Texas A&M University student Tynesha Stewart.[6] He helped obtain a confession from Timothy Wayne Shepherd, the suspect in the murder.[7] He also criticized the Harris County sheriff's decision not to search for Stewart's body in an Humble, Texas area landfill, which was later to be discovered to be unrecoverable due to suspects burning remains in two Barbecue pits.[8][3]

[edit] Joe Horn Protest
Quanell X led a protest in Pasadena, Texas on December 2, 2007. The protest was held in front of Joe Horn's house, the man suspected of the shooting deaths of two burglary suspects. Quanell's speech included the exhortation for blacks to ignore "white law" and he led chants of "black power." Riot police had to be readied in event of conflict with the large number of counter-protesters who had gathered to oppose his arrival and support the home owner that is the center of the controversy
