Detroit ___, nickname for Malcolm X (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red

(Other definitions for red that I've seen before include "River, its source in the US, flowing north to empty into L Winnipeg" , "Inflamed" , "14 -- breed of 4" , "Bloodshot" , "Scarlet or vermilion" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
