Alla caccia del lunicero Rafita: abbandonato dalla sua banda in un ospedale dopo aver ricevuto cinque colpi di pistola a Vallecas

A violent shooting in the Entrevías neighborhood left Rafael Francisco H. C., known as 'Rafita,' critically injured with five gunshot wounds to his lower body. He was abandoned by members of his own gang at the entrance of Móstoles Hospital early Saturday morning. Rafita, who has more than fifty police records for various crimes including a premeditated murder, remains in intensive care unit (ICU) under the custody of the National Police, though he is not yet in detention. The incident occurred around 1:25 am on September 20, 2026. According to reports, Rafita was shot multiple times before being left behind by four other members of his organization. He reportedly told someone, “They have shot me,” before losing consciousness. His condition remains critical, with medical teams monitoring him closely. Rafita is often confused with another individual, the killer of Sandra Palo, but he is distinct. Known as 'El Niño,' he is associated with the Samuelillo gang. The National Police have taken over his custody, ensuring security at the hospital. The exact circumstances leading to the attack remain unclear, though internal conflicts within criminal groups are not uncommon. No further details on potential arrests or ongoing investigations were immediately available.
