Rafia actually told a reporter for the Hartford Courant that their romance was such a whirlwind that she was the one to propose to Javid. In the years since they'd settled in Connecticut, Javid and Rafia had twins, a boy and a girl, who were about six at the time of the shooting. Javid owned the one-stop and worked there day in and day out, his young son often helping out.

Rafia told The Current reporter that the two would read the Quran together between customers. Rafia also told The Current that even though she was wrangling two young kids at home and had been badly hurt in a car accident a few years earlier, she helped out at the store to spend time with her husband whenever she could.

But that night, Javid had encouraged her to stay home and rest, and she'd taken his advice. Rafia told that reporter that she kept replaying that decision in her mind, wondering if she would have been able to protect her husband if she'd been there, or maybe she would have been able to do something, like at least been able to identify his attackers.

Instead, she was left to rack her brain for anyone she could think of who would want to hurt her husband. The stress of it all impacted her so severely that, at one point, she called investigators from the hospital, excitedly telling them that Javid had woken up and told her who shot him. But when detectives arrived, they quickly determined that that was impossible.

Despite the family's desperate hopes that Javid would wake up and tell them who shot him, it wouldn't come to pass. Because on March 10th, 10 days after he was attacked, Javid succumbed to his injuries and died. The shooting investigation turned into a homicide, and with his death came a key piece of evidence. The bullet recovered from his body.

Chief Carl said he was in the room when the post-mortem examination was performed on Javid and watched medical examiners recover the bullet, which had been lodged near his heart. They hadn't tried to remove the bullet while Javid was alive because he wouldn't have survived that surgery.
