Asher Azulay was 67 when he was fatally shot on May 12, 2018, in his Weston home in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Rafael Azulay, an internal medicine physician, shot Asher in the neck after asking his parents to bring the charger for his ankle monitor; Asher died at the scene. Rafael then shot himself in the abdomen and was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in critical condition. Rafael’s mother was the only witness and later said the shooting was an accident.

Rafael faced criminal charges related to the killing and to an unrelated domestic battery by strangulation charge involving his then-girlfriend. He was initially charged with second-degree murder but ultimately pleaded no contest to manslaughter with a firearm and received two years of house arrest followed by ten years of probation. He also pleaded no contest to the domestic battery charge. At one point he was judged not mentally competent to stand trial, and was later found competent before accepting the plea.

The sentence and the plea outcome prompted criticism from some who felt justice was not fully served. Did anyone who knew Asher or the family notice warning signs before May 12, 2018?
