Daily Cal: UC Berkeley sophomore Maliq Nixon dies at 19
Maliq Nixon left no student group untouched.
A UC Berkeley sophomore and a political activist, Nixon was pronounced dead early Saturday morning at Stebbins Hall, a Northside co-op on Ridge Road where he was living. He was 19.
The cause of death is unknown, according to the Berkeley Police Department.
Since Saturday, there has been an outpouring of condolences on social media and from Nixon’s friends as they recall his infectious spirit.
A prospective history major who friends say was known for his strong convictions and tireless energy, Nixon was active in campus politics. Last year, he volunteered for Cal Berkeley Democrats, interned at the Gender Equity Resource Center and worked on multiple campaigns for the campus political party CalSERVE. This year, he was already hard at work volunteering for CalSERVE Senator Briana Mullen.
