Rafael was shot at least 15 times and his body dragged through the streets at around 9:30pm on the evening of Tuesday 27th September.

Bloodstains on the road indicated that the victim was approached at the corner of GravataĆ­ Baron Street and Lane Fishing where the shots were fired. Friends said that he had been threatened by people involved in drug trafficking.
